&lt;h4&gt;Migration&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Configuration of some components
has changed between 1.1.x and 1.2.x.&lt;br&gt;
Check the difference before launching EasyBeans&lt;br&gt;
OSGi changes : Split of the core bundle: Now there are several "small"
bundles. This is more modular. Also, there are bundles for each
persistence provider. EclipseLink or other persistence framework are
supported (in addition to the previous support of Hibernate in OSGi
mode)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="paragraph"/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Note: In OSGi mode, there is a
large choice of Persistence Providers. Hibernate 3.4 or 3.5,
EclipseLink 1 or EclipseLink 2 and OpenJPA 1 or OpenJPA 2 !&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;
