[JDO] Hibernate will provide an implementation if it's good From Gavin on the hibernate-devel mailing list:

If JDO becomes an accepted standard, Hibernate will provide an
implementation. That is what I have always said. At present there are
simply too much problems / limitations with JDO for it to become accepted.
JDO 2.0 may fix that, but thats pure speculation since no-one knows what
JDO 2.0 might look like.

But we will continue to support and improve our own APIs since they will
always be more appropriate to the problem we are trying to solve: ORM. JDO
is a generic databinding API. Hibernate is not.

To me this says "You don't have to choose between JDO and Hibernate." You can chooose Hibernate and if JDO ever becomes good enough (as a standard), then you can (hopefully) find comfort in the fact that Hibernate will support it. Posted in Java at Jun 12 2003, 09:36:45 AM MDT 1 Comment

Add to that the fact that there are no reliable open source JDO implementations out there yet... :-)
