No, it can't. :( Unfortunately, JDBM appears to be a pretty dead
project.
"Mature", as some may call it. :-) I was just having a conversation
with the JDBM lead the other day - it's certainly not abandoned or
anything.
FCL is just an impl of a pluggable interface though. If you don't
want it in 3.0 and if we can't find a valid replacement by the time
AS is ready to consume 3.0, then I can always pull the FCL code into
the AS/EJB3 source tree.
That is always an option, I guess. Shall we stick with deprecating it
in 2.2 and removing it in 3.0 then?
Cheers
