I notice that this issue (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-843) is still not on the roadmap. (I recall that this had just missed the 1.1.7 release, but I had hoped that it would have been included in the 1.2.x release, and now I don't even see it scheduled for 1.3.) Please don't forget about it because I am trying to promote a Java-first approach whereby the Entity beans begin as Java code, not a database table, and the DDL is derived from the Java code. (This helps ensure that the Java annotations are correct and complete.) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4050636#...
