Action Items from weeks past:

[Mar 17 2006]  AI Craig: review EG discussion on JDOHelper  constructor
vs. newInstance().

[Mar 17 2006]  Remaining  issue: datastore identity strategy is
currently defined as IDENTITY  but some datastores don't support
IDENTITY columns. AI CraIg: propose  a solution.

[Mar 17 2006]  For the persistence manager newInstance(Class) method,
what should  the implementation do for abstract classes or interfaces
that contain  abstract methods other than property accessors? Answer:
throw an  exception. This might happen during enhancement. This needs to
be  clarified in the spec. AI Michael: file a JIRA.

[Mar 10 2006] Michael noticed a number of configurations have failed.
AI Craig: see  if changes to PMInterface have affected this problem.

[Feb 24 2006] One of the query tests fails. JDO-310 DERBY-39 for
details. AI Craig: Can we  get some help on this from the Derby   team?
Craig asked at the team meeting. AI Craig: follow up.

[Feb 3 2006] AI Michael W fix list of teardown classes in company
model reader. JDO-285. But this fix cannot be checked in until JPOX   is
fixed.

[Jan 20 2005]  AI Craig look at new life cycle tests to see if it  can
fail at the end printing failure messages. AI Craig review the   spec
updates to make sure the test is consistent. AI Craig:  resolve  the
test case and spec issues. Done. Martin will start  with the code that
Michael W updated and will update the test case  not to fail on the
first error.

[Nov 18 2005] AI: BEA to sign the donation paperwork for their test
suite. Review how to merge their test cases into JDO TCK. The  latest
news in BEA is that BEA plans to donate their object  persistence
engine to open source; it's not clear where they will  do this,
perhaps in Apache as a sister project to Apache JDO. BEA's  OpenJPA is
currently under consideration in the Apache incubator, so  the
integration work might be facilitated once this is resolved.

[Nov 4 2005] AI Martin: Update Martin's wiki with discusion of JDK   1.5
issues. in progress

[Sep 2 2005] AI: To recruit members, update the web site. Articles  on

include all JDO metadata elements and attributes.

[April 15 2005] AI: Brian Topping will do the maven goal for    creating
