Evaluating JPA providers: Market share of Hibernate/EclipseLink?

Question

I'm struggling to find some data as to the (estimated) number of installations/user base/market share of Hibernate and/or EclipseLink.

This information would help in interpreting numbers like '# of bug reports opened' or '# of S/O questions' per product, but it seems that's not as readily available as I would expect.

Can anyone point me to some resources in this regard?

According to RebelLabs 2014 java tools and technologies report , Hibernate was having a 67.5% market share, meaning that all other providers combined share less than 1/3 of the whole market.

The 2014 Data Access frameworks market share is:

• Hibernate : 67.5%
• Plain JDBC : 22%
• JDBC Template : 19.5%
• EclipseLink : 13%
• MyBatis : 6.5%
• JOOQ : 1.5%
• Other : 7%

In a 2016 survey , the following results have been obtained:

• Hibernate : 72%
• EclipseLink : 13%
• OpenJPA : 2%
