What is EclipseLink?

Eclipse Persistence Services Project (EclipseLink) is a comprehensive persistence framework delivering a set of persistence services based around leading standards with advanced extensions. Consumers can use EclipseLink within Java EE, SE, and soon OSGi/Equinox environments.

The original source contribution for EclipseLink came from Oracle Corporation's TopLink product.

See Introduction to EclipseLink in the EclipseLink User's Guide for more information.
