On the "roll-your-own" approach, I have heard people like Scott Ambler present and confirm that access layers can work quite well. There are also lots of resources available on doing this kind of thing.

I think there will be a major announcement by Sun at JavaOne this year on JDO. There are a couple of companies as you have mentioned above. Several others have also recently been mentioned here, e.g.

http://www.libelis.com/index.jsp

Since it is still early days, it may be hard to find significant applications, although Libelis appear to have a couple of references on their web site.
