[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HBX-899) HQL editor should validate/check the query string

HQL editor should validate/check the query string ------------------------------------------------- Key: HBX-899 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-899 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: New Feature

Versions: 3.2beta8 Reporter: Joseph Marques

Instead of having to check the error log to see whether your query has an error, the Tools should be smart enough to parse the query on the fly as it's being written. This way the HQL editor can show the "little red squiggly" under the part of the query that's in error. Additionally, the error log can then take a backseat to a new "Query Problems" view that mimics the standard Problems view that showing errors, warnings, info. An error could be a part of the query that doesn't make sense while a warning could be the use of a reserved word as a bind parameter such as ":group" - which will work (I've tried it) - but is generally not a best practice I would think.
