Castor JDO: false advertising?

I have to agree with David Jordan's most recent OnJava article. "Castor JDO" is a confusing name for a product that does not support JDO. I don't know or care who was using the JDO acronym first; the Castor folks need to drop JDO from the Castor name.

I rarely see the "product" referred to as Castor JDO, except when people are differentiating the database functionality from the XML functionality. Perhaps Sun shouldn't have used such a stupidly common term for their API?

Trouble-maker! Don't you understand: Sun alone has the right to steal acronyms from Microsoft and change the A to a J.

Sorry, always stirring the pot.
