The JPAQL editor requires a hibernate compatible jpa project. You don't need to add anything hibernate specific to the project if you are using pure JPA. Create a hibernate console configuration enabled for JPA and you can use the jpqql editor. ps. MyEclipse's hibernate, jpa, hql editor etc. is a fork of Hibernate Tools but with different things disabled and other enhanced. One of them sounds to be that we don't require hibernate support enabled on the project, but they do. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4141178#...
