Dears,

We already developed many Products using TopLink/EclipseLink Native ORM.

My Question is:
- Is Native ORM will have continuous development and support in future?
Or, Native ORM now considered obsolete approach and we have to plan migrating
our Proudcts from Native ORM to JPA?

JPA is the recommend API, a standard, and the target for any of our new development.

The native API is still fully supported. JPA is built on top of the native API, so most new JPA features are exposed through the native API.

You don't need to migrate, but you may want to, to bring your applications up to current standards and technology.
