Hi Alexis,
I think it would really help if you started developing in the open
using one of the free open source sites. This would provide the
project history to a potential Champion, including access to the
source code and general feel of whether you are really interested in
building community around your code.
On a technical note, what exactly does this framework test? Is this
regression testing (i.e. checking that the ORM schema matches the
actual DB schema), or is there a value beyond that? We had a similar
framework submitted to the Cayenne project some time back, and I could
never understand what exactly is being tested.

Hello all,
I was a little bit hesitant before posting this project proposition.
But
let's go! I hope that this attempt will be a success.
JEUT stands for "JPA Entity Unit Test" and is currently in
development. So
there is no public website and the code is ended up to 70%. JEUT is a
testing framework for JPA entities and its main goal is to automate
the test
of entities without the need to write long and boring home tests.
The mission is to provide a framework which is able to test the
matching
between entities using annotations and/or xml descriptors and the real
database. A framework 100% compliant with all the existing
annotations in
JPA, for the current version 1 (and the future version 2... in the
future).
JEUT analyzes all the annotations and creates instances of entites
with
random values. It tries to persist these instances via the entity
manager
and reports the problems if existing. JEUT can be used as an
extension of
JUnit or TestNG, or maybe all others test frameworks.
For the moment, the team is only composed with me, and I have
discussed with
my self about what is means to become an Apacha project. I am aware
what are
the conditions, responsabilities and impacts to become an Apache
project. I
am looking a Champion to go in the proposal phase (if the proposal
makes
sense) and to build a community around JEUT.
Thank you for any feedback and recommendations (and sorry for my
english
coming from Belgium).
I look forward to your responses.
Regards,
Alexis Willemyns
JEUT project founder
