Eight years ago in 2002, I created the iBATIS Data Mapper and introduced SQL Mapping as an approach to persistence layer development. Shortly thereafter, I donated the iBATIS name and code to the Apache Software Foundation. The ASF has been the home of iBATIS for the past six years.
A lot changes in six years. By 2010 we’ve seen a great deal of innovation and change in the areas of development methodology, source control, social networking and open-source infrastructure. As part of the ASF, iBATIS has had only limited ability to benefit from some of these new developments—some of which are not all that new anymore.
Our project has a committed team, a vibrant community, a great culture of cooperation and some exciting new releases. But we believe we can make it even better.
Therefore, the entire core development team of iBATIS has decided to continue the development of the framework at a new home and with a new name.
