Hi,

I am using JBDS 5.0 Beta 3. I created a POJO with follwoing attributes :

String username;
String password
String loginCount;

Then I invoked conetxt menu option "Generate Hibernate/JPA annotations", it generates only @Entity annotation. Obviously there is no way for the wizard to find out which attribute should act as PK. However if I include a string "id" anywhere in "username" e.g idusername, usernameid, useridname, it assumes it to be the PK and generates @Id and @GeneratedValue annotation. I wonder if this is by design? I think a better approach would be to let the user choose on the wizard, which field he wants to mark as PK.
