I have a love and hate relationship with Ebean. On the outside it's a breath of fresh air compared to JPA (which is extremely stagnant atm), it provides ActiveRecord [0] if that's your thing, built in type safe generated query beans [1], built in migrations [2], and it's pretty easy to setup and easier to use than say Hibernate.

But, at least at my company, we always tend to hit some corner case that the documentation doesn't cover or some bug that isn't searchable because let's face it probably < 1% of people using a Java ORM is using Ebean compared to JPA or Hibernate.

In the end it's left me longing for a proper JPA implementation.
