Target Date - TBD 2021
The EclipseLink project's goal is to provide a complete persistence framework that is both comprehensive and universal. It will run in any Java environment and read and write objects to virtually any type of data source, including relational databases, and XML. EclipseLink will focus on providing leading edge support, including advanced feature extensions, for the dominant persistence standards for each target data source; Java Persistence API (JPA) for relational databases, Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) for XML, Service Data Objects (SDO), and Database Web services (DBWS).

The EclipseLink Project includes ASM for the purpose of byte code weaving. The AMS library is re-packaged within the source of the project (org.persistence.eclipse.internal.libraries.asm.*) to avoid version collisions with other usage of ASM.
The source code is available within the project's git repository. The binaries are distributed within the eclipselink.jar and in the org.eclipse.persistence.asm_*.jar bundle.

The ANTLR library (license) is included within EclipseLink Project to enable parsing of the Java Persistence Query language (JP QL). The ANTLR library is re-packaged within the project in the org.eclipse.persistence.internal.libraries.antlr.* packages.
The source is available with the project's git repository. The binaries are distributed within the eclipselink.jar and in the org.eclipse.persistence.antlr_3.5.2.v*.jar bundle.
The JAXB libraries are distributed under Eclipse Distribution License (EDL) v1.0. and Eclipse Public License (EPL) v2.0 and GNU Classpath.
These components are used within the EclipseLink Project to enable the MOXy component's implementation of JAXB.
JAXB Libraries:
- jakarta.xml.bind-api.jar
- jaxb-impl.jar
- jaxb-xjc.jar
The JPA 2.2 specification API is included in EclipseLink under Eclipse Distribution License (EDL) v1.0. and Eclipse Public License (EPL) v2.0
EclipseLink is the Java Persistence (JPA) 2.2 Reference Implementation (JSR 338).
The JSON Processing is distributed under and Eclipse Public License (EPL) v2.0 and GNU Classpath.
This is used within EclipseLink Project to enable parsing of JSON files.
The Java Mail library (mail.jar) can be downloaded from eclipse-ee4j/mail under Eclipse Public License (EPL) v2.0 and GNU Classpath
This jar is included within the EclipseLink Project distribution to support Web Services attachment handling in the MOXy component. It is only required when using Java SE 5 (Java Mail is included in Java SE 6).
The Service Data Objects (SDO) API is distributed under a CDDLv1.0 and custom license. It provides the standard API implemented by the EclipseLink Project's SDO component.
The JCA 1.7 API is distributed under a Eclipse Public License (EPL) v2.0 and GNU Classpath
This jar is being shipped and required by the Workbench only. When using EclipseLink in a container where JCA integration is required that container will provide the necessary API libraries.
