Java Persistent Objects (JPOX) currently provides 2 primary "products". These are
JPOX Core (the base persistence implementation) and JPOX Enhancer (for byte-code enhancing
classes). The most common addons would be JPOX Java5 (where you want Java5 features, or JPA),
and JPOX DB4O (for persisting to DB4O datastores), but there are many many more.
We've designed JPOX to minimise the amount of dependencies on external software, but there are some
dependencies. These are defined below.
Both JPOX Core and JPOX Enhancer are written with the minimum runtime requirement of JDK 1.3
or above. In fact the AUID id generator uses a JDK 1.4 method so you will need JDK 1.4 if you want to use
that form of id generation.
JPOX Core (jpox-core.jar) provides the baseline for using JPOX.
JPOX Core is dependent on the following packages of software. Click on the name
to go to the home page for that software to download it. Please note however that JTA (javax.transaction),
and JDBC (javax.sql) are included with J2EE as standard, and are standard extensions to the JDK.
JDBC is included in JDK 1.4 so if using that or higher you will not need it.
