Use the links below to download a distribution of Apache OpenJPA. It is good practice to verify the integrity of the distribution files using the MD5 checksums.

For information on obtaining OpenJPA binaries, see the Obtaining page. For information on building OpenJPA from source, see the Building OpenJPA page.

Nightly Snapshots

These distributions are built and deployed nightly, and contain up-to-date fixes and improvements. However, their stability cannot be guaranteed. Use at your own risk.

Verifying Releases

We strongly recommend you verify the integrity of the downloaded files with both PGP and MD5. The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First download the KEYS as well as the asc signature file for the particular distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures using one of the following sets of commands:

% gpg --verify openjpa-*.zip.asc

Alternatively, you can verify the checksums on the files. Unix programs called md5/sha1 or md5sum/sha1sum are included in many unix distributions. *sum is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here or here. fsum supports MD5 and SHA1.
