There's a recurring demand for support for OpenJPA in the community. Experience has also shown that migrating between minor versions of Hibernate is not trivial.

I implemented a test framework in 5.2.x for checking the backwards compatibility of our binary persistence, before we moved to protobuf. I should reimplement that and turn it back on.

(Priority is unknown/TBD at this point)

• Implement a test framework that allows us to do the following:
  • easy configuration and setup/reuse for cross-database tests
  • easy configuration and setup/reuse for multiple ORM tests
• Implement OpenJPA Support
• Implement a test framework to support multiple ORM's in tests
• (Re)implement marshalling backwards compatibility testing
• Get cross-db testing running again (jenkins jobs, etc.)

No work done yet. There are forks of jbpm (eggeral) with work in them.

• Liquibase/database schema migration work
• Cross-DB test framework
• Cross-DB implementation and jenkins jobs
• Multiple ORM test framework
• Add OpenJPA support
• Add configurable multiple hibernate version support
• Marshalling backward compatibility testing framework (work in parallel to other goals)

Unknown dates, I'll look at this again in July/August.

Marshalling testing

FILL IN

• Multiple ORM test framework
  • there's work I did in 5.2.x to test both JPA 1 and JPA 2 by the same tests
• OpenJPA support
  • Grab changes in eggeral's openjpa-compatibility branch
  • Implement and test (both OpenJpa and Hib 4.2.0)
• Configurable multiple hibernate version support
• Marshalling backwards compability testing
  • Get "Gegaw" off the ground
  • Finish the utility/script to generate previous snapshot databases per branch
  • Implement test framework in drools/jbpm tests

• Keep Jiri Svitak in the loop (he'll probably want to contribute!)
