I hope this won't take very long.
We are working on code integration with Torque, and doing all kind of
source code preaparations for the shift to Apache.

I hope to have those things done with the OJB 1.0 release (end of June).

Mhh, AFAIK ATG sells a J2EE Server and Frameworks focussing on CRM. How
does that relate to OJB?
IMHO OJB can learn a lot from commercial O/R layers like TOPLink.

OJB already has a reverse engineering tool:
just perform build.sh reverse_db to see it running.
