Anyway, for GA we will keep the "old" default since it was discovered too late. Then when we do have the ui for controlling the default I would just have a few options but let none be the default since it is the less risky one and you can set the default option in persistence.xml instead of going set it on every single entity. It's clearly a programming/architecture style since we all are pushing our own viewpoints. Thus, I think you should have an option in the UI for the user to enter whatever default he/she wants. Perhaps check boxes would be nice. I don't really like the idea of setting the defaults in the XML as it changes the behavior of the application and makes it non-portable (or harder to connect the dots for someone looking at the annotations). So can we agree to disagree and make it a choice for the developer?
