Add addJar() and addClassesFromPackage() to EntityManagerFactoryBuilder ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6483 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6483 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 4.0.0.next Reporter: Ondra Žižka JPA's persistence.xml has <jar-file> : {code} <persistence> <persistence-unit name="TestPU"> <jta-data-source>java:/TestDS</jta-data-source> <jar-file>foo/bar/entities.jar</jar-file> </persistence-unit> </persistence> {code} It would be fine to have Ejb3Configuration.addClassesFromJar() with the same effect. Also, Ejb3Configuration.addClassesFromPackage() would be handy, which would find package-info.class and scan it's place (dir, jar, ...) for entities (assuming a package is in one place only). After HHH-6159, they would be EntityManagerFactoryBuilder.addClassesFromJar() and EntityManagerFactoryBuilder.addClassesFromPackage(), respectively. Without this feature, users tend to hack their own scanning or use external lib like Scannotation, which is pitty since scanning code is already in Hibernate.
