Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

We've had JPA but still need to use the SQL-like, non-compile-time-checked JPA query language.

Quaere (http://quaere.codehaus.org/) "is an open source, extensible framework that adds a querying syntax reminiscent of SQL to Java applications. Quaere allows you to filter, enumerate and create projections over a number of collections and other queryable resources using a common, expressive syntax."

It's not LINQ, but IMHO is a (very) nice improvement of previous methods.

The API is very much like db4o's.

It'd be nice if anybody can suggest (be it worse or better) alternatives or help Quaere's developer with this very potential project.

(and please don't turn this into flame/troll-war. thanks)
