eclipselink-maven-plugin
Eclipselink JPA maven plugin made to simplify life of the Eclipselink JPA developer.
Features
- No need to setup special APT processor for canonical model generation, just use goal
modelgen. - Allows you to get rid of the
persistence.xmlfile as the classes are detected automatically and a persistence.xml file is generated. - If the
persistence.xmlfile already exists, missing<class>...</class>entries are added automatically. This allows you to have a basic configuration, but you do not have to manually add class entries.
