Hi Tom,
You are speaking of our "Platform" concept, which is a setting that
determines the way the Dali tooling will function, based on the
implementation of the Platform selected. The Generic platform exists to
provide spec compliant JPA tooling, which assists with the creation of JPA
artifacts and metadata that can be used on any JPA implementation. This
is a good choice if there isn't a specific platform available for your
chosen JPA implementation, or you want to be sure that non-portable
metadata isn't used in your artifacts.
By selecting a non-Generic platform, the tooling will usually provide a
richer configuration experience, catered to a given JPA implementation.
For the EclipseLink Platform, this will provide additional UI for
configuring persistence.xml, XML mapping files, Java annotations, and
change validation where appropriate.
The EclipseLink bundles themselves do not contain the Dali EclispeLink
Platform.
Hope this helps,
Neil
