Max Rydahl Andersen commented on HBX-1086:
------------------------------------------

Well, hibernatetools *does* need to connect to the database when you either are reverse engineering from it or executing queries.

I'm very much open for making it easier to use so any ideas in form of patches would be welcome.

One thing I definitly need to do is to improve the jpaconfiguration option to not have to require persistence.xml to be located in a specific location.

But "merging" persistence units just feels "wrong" ...they are no longer a unit then...

> I'm working on a module based approach to developing a persistence layer for a web application.
> One of the things I want to be able to do is deploy each module in its own jar file with a corresponding persistence.xml file.  Having done this spring's PersistenceUnitManager detects the persistence.xml files at runtime and merges the persistence configuration files into a single persistence configuration.
> Problem is, at build time, I use hibernate tools and jpa configuration to build drop and create schema ddl.  This just picks up the first persistence.xml on the classpath and uses it to provide the jpa configuration.  I would like to see a SpringJPAConfiguration that operates in the same way as the PersistenceUnitManager.
