[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-1173?page=comments#action_12400482 ] Vitali Yemialyanchyk commented on JBIDE-1173: --------------------------------------------- really it is not clear in which case this feature should be available; firstly - should the project be JPA project or nevertheless it is not necessary particularly for this issue? eclipse consider project as JPA project if it has (at least): <nature>org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.nature</nature> string in .project file and .settings\org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faceted-project> <fixed facet="jst.java"/> <fixed facet="jpt.jpa"/> <fixed facet="jst.utility"/> <installed facet="jst.java" version="5.0"/> <installed facet="jst.utility" version="1.0"/> <installed facet="jpt.jpa" version="1.0"/> </faceted-project> but I do not see easy way for the user to convert his current project into JPA project... or I just can't find it... is there something like command - convert current project into JPA project? secondly if we have JPA project we should connect to DB - i.e. select DB connection in Data Source Explorer and press Connect in popup menu - in other case we do not get suggestions; also if we copy all necessary files to enable JPA for current project (simple just copy from JPA enabled project) - we should at least open project properties and press Apply button for JPA settings - only then we get tables suggestions... so here there several way to implement it: 1) for the project we should have only - Hibernate Settings -> Enable Hibernate 3 support & project should be Java 5 project - so this is sufficient 2) the project should be JPA project and we should guide user through all troubles which I got (I describe it above) - and how we should provide for the user these capabilities - he should press context menu item at project - something like "Enable JPA" or ? 3) may be there is other so suggest it -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
