[forge-dev] JPA setup command question

Yes, I agree. 

However I wonder if these combinations wouldn't become too hard to maintain? This looks like something that could be implemented using a rule engine, like Drools. 

Thoughts?

After you run it, look for the 'dependencies = ' string in the output. I've set it up to use EclipseLink on Wildfly container. I suppose it is not going to work with the JPA API dependency only, is it?

No matter that SAP HCP is built on top of Tomcat, we have our own persistence service, which provides JTA data source. So, generally you are right that I should not extend that abstract class, but in this concrete case with HANA Cloud Platform it is the right thing to do.

The containers know very well whether they have JPA support at all or, if they have, what is their native provider (e.g. Hibernate for Wildfly). So IMHO whenever the user specifies a container with a provider the setup command should do the following:

Which means that I need the Eclipse Link dependencies in the pom.xml in the compile scope. When I generated the project and set up Eclipse Link, I got this in the pom:

If it is a full fledged application server, then we can go with the API in provided scope. Something like this.
