RECENT QUOTE:
"Java Persistence API 2.1 Early Draft has been available for about a month now. JPA2 was one of the first JSRs to be filed as part of Java EE 7. Several other specifications in Java EE 7 have released early drafts as well (JavaServer Faces 2.0, JAX-RS 2.0, CDI 1.1, more coming as well) and I'll cover them in later blogs."
