Improved work with datatools connection profiles for various projects using hibernate/jpa ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-15174 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15174 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: hibernate Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Beta2 Reporter: Jiri Peterka Assignee: Koen Aers Fix For: 4.5.0.AM1 When working with JPA projects or examples from Central it's necessary to create JPA connection profile. I assume I already have some kind of configuration - either hibernate configuration, or connection directly defined in persistence.xml or defined data source. Still hibernate tooling and eclipse.datatools is complaining that it needs to define connection profile. You have to create a connection configuration again for connection profile to have working tooling. It leads to multiple configurations or you have to reconfigure a project to use eclipse.datatools connection profiles. What I would like to see is some mechanism howto easily create connection profiles: * the seamless way would be some support for our examples to generate connection profiles when they are imported (or at least to help with that) * and some support for hibernate configuration, persistence.xml and ds when creating connection profiles. Both features might need some eclipse.datatools contributions. But currently these two worlds (hibernate/jpa tooling and datatools are not very well integrated each other).
