A javac plugin to manage your persistence.xml

submited by krishnas on Thu Nov 29th, 2007

I am glad to say that in most cases, I do not write a persistence.xml file any more. No, I am not using any IDE to generate it for me, nor has the spec relaxed any requirement. We will discuss some other time why persistence.xml is a necessary evil. Then what has changed? Well, my compiler creates it for me - yes, I said javac creates it for me. When I execute javac -d . -classpath ... FooEntity.java BarEntity.java Main.java
