I've checked out the HEAD and have two problems. Anyone else? 1. Test failure in org.apache.openjpa.persistence.xml.TestSimpleXmlEntity.testId (TestSimpleXmlEntity.java:35) Caused by: org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceException: Invalid character string format for type BIGINT. 2. Bad pom.xml for persistence-jdbc project. (Netbeans complains about the pom). Before I start troubleshooting I thought I'd see if I'm the only one.
