OK, than I'll continue with my impolite style :).
> Maven is one of those things that people either love or hate.
I don't have such a relation to it :). For me is just piece of software.
A nice theoretical idea, but a bad implementation. I was very exited when
Maven was first announced and since than I'm trying to use it with every new Maven release
and than throw it away after giving Maven a fair amount of trial time (from my spare time).
On the other side, ANT just works: from newbies till experts and if one is not approaching it with
religious intents (like many do with maven, IoC/AOP or RoR), than it's just OK: something that does
what it promises and nothing more: reliable.

I usually love other things like: flowers, good wine, women, etc. :).
Software is just software: good, bad, buggy, fast, slow, user friendly or not, but still "just
software" :).

Sure, one can get comfortable even with his mother-in-law after many years of trials :).

Sorry but what has Cayenne to do with Geronimo?
I want to use the one(would prefer the first) instead of the other and never both :).
Of course, I know that I'm missing here the big picture :).
> I'd like to see cayenne-jpa accepted and used by OpenEJB.
And I (as a user) would like to see Cayenne "just working". Really, "just working", nothing more :).
All other extra things that make the first and most important thing of "just working" less reliable
or less functional or a PITA should not be done IMHO. If it "just works" than afterwards there's
still time to do all sort of ...
