has there been any word on when JPA 2.0 might be available in an "early access" capacity. reason i ask, we are moving forward with migrating from one ORM to another, and i would like to use upcoming "Criteria" based JPA rather than doing direct vendor specific wiring or "rolling my own".

The JSR for JPA 2.0 hasn't been filed yet so it's too soon to say when implementations of that
spec will be available.There's an alias set up for JPA 2.0 feature requests at :
persistenceNoSpam-feature-requests@sun.com
You can also find the JPA 2.0 presentation from the recent JavaOne at :
http://developers.sun.com/learning/javaoneonline/j1sessn.jsp?sessn=TS-4945&yr=2007&track=3
yeah, i saw the presentations. pretty cool that they are going to finally ratify a Criteria based approach, since i'm very anti-embedded strings since String tends to be very memory hungry.
i was hoping that one of the sun devs would drop a hint about early-access or something. i tried the email link when i saw it at the bottom of the presentation webpage, but it got bounced so i assume they folded it.
