[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-8824) Editing support for JPQL queries in orm.xml files.

Editing support for JPQL queries in orm.xml files. -------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-8824 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8824 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: hibernate Reporter: henk de boer Assignee: Koen Aers Labels: jpa, orm.xml Fix For: LATER Attachments: query completion.PNG orm.xml or any <mapping-file> referenced from persistence.xml can contain JPQ (<named-query><query>) or SQL (<named-native-query><query>). It would be a great advantage if there was tooling support available for editing JPQL in these files. A minimum feature set could include: * Auto completion of entities in e.g. the FROM clause (in "SELECT ... FROM Entity entity", editor should be able to autocomplete Entity here) * Navigate into entities (in above fragment, ctrl-clicking on Entity would open Entity.java) * Auto completion of JPQL variables. (After the above fragment, editor should be able to autocomplete entity in "WHERE entity = ...") As a more advanced feature, the editor could validate whether the entire JPQL is syntactical correct. A nice to have would also include support for <named-native-query>, but as the syntax here is DB dependent and its usage may be relatively rare this is probably not very high on the wish list of many.
