[weld-dev] SQL framework proof of concept

[Gavin King]

Nick, javassist works at runtime, the generated classes are not
available to the compiler. So all code that uses FooEntity is
uncompilable. Javaassist is useful for creating new implementations of
types that already exist, not for creating new types.

What you're describing can be achieved using a Java6 processor (a
compiler plugin), which is what we are doing in Hibernate for
generating the X_ classes for entity classes X.

But in this case, we don't have any entities. These classes exist to
represent database tables. I don't love the idea of going off to the
database and reading the db metadata every time I compile my code ;-)
