jpa-hibernate vs. jpa

[mraible]

Does it make sense to name our JPA module jpa-hibernate instead of
just "jpa"? I think we should change it to "jpa" and only support the
implementation we feel is the best. If folks want to document how to
change from one implementation to another, that's cool. If we find
that OpenJPA is better than Hibernate JPA, we can switch. This is
similar to what we've done with JSF - we call it the generic name and
that allows us to switch implementations if we ever need to w/o
messing up anything too bad.

Thoughts?

If we're going to make the change, we should do it before 2.0 Final.

Thanks,

Matt

+1. Best practice is to code to interfaces rather than implementation; why not
name modules the same way?

Since RC1 will be deployed to maven's central repo - I'm going to make
this change tonight. Speak up now or forever hold your peace! ;-)

I've cc'd the user list to see if any users object.

Thanks,

Matt
