Bugs Committed

Bug/ER #	Description
200040	New native XML metadata format: Provide new metadata format that is more readable, uses configuration by exception, and aligns with JPA's ORM.XML for override or full replacement.
?	Remove Deprecated Logging: Remove the deprecated logging classes from the o.e.p.sessions package (SessionLog, SessionLogEntry, DefaultSessionLog)
?	Remove Deprecated SDK-XML mapping and associated legacy metadata read/write functionality
?	Remove Deprecated SDK mappings. Some non-deprecated mappings (i.e. object-relational mappings) will require keeping some of the functionality.
?	Remove Deprecated MBeans support in deprecated.services support.
?	Dynamic Persistence: Make the dynamic persistence capability generally available and usable with JPA, SDO, DBWS, and MOXy. Enable full capabilities of a woven class in a dynamic entity. This effort will involve combining the existing SDO and DBWS solution into a single offering in a public package in the eclipselink.core project.
?	Remove unused import statements reported by Eclipse IDE in eclipselink.core project. Approximately 138 warnings.
?	Remove unused import statements reported by Eclipse IDE in eclipselink.extension.oracle project. Approximately 8 warnings.
?	Remove unused import statements reported by Eclipse IDE in eclipselink.jpa project. Approximately 25 warnings.
?	Remove unused local or private members reported by Eclipse IDE in eclipselink.core project. Approximately 32 warnings.
?	Remove local variable never read warnings reported by Eclipse IDE in eclipselink.core project. Approximately 226 warnings.
