Hey,

I'm pretty new with JPA.
What i need to do to be able to use JPA in an existing Eclipse-Java project?

An explanation or a link would be helpful. Thanks!

At a minimum you just need to add JPA spec persistence.jar and a JPA provider jar, such as eclipselink.jar to your projects classpath.

You will then need a persistence.xml for your project, and some annotated @Entity classes, or an orm.xml file.

In Eclipse you could use the Eclipse JPA support
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/dali/

I think Eclipse also has some built-in libraries for JPA and EclipseLink.

After downloading the Dali project, in Eclipse 3.5 or 3.6 you can right click on a java project and choose Configure -> Convert to JPA Project. This will lead you through the JPA wizard. Using Eclipse 3.6 (Dali 2.3) will give you tooling for the JPA 2.0 spec along with the 1.0 spec.

If you have questions about the Dali tools feel free to ask us questions over on
