Hello,

I am trying to get the EclipseLink metamodel generator working from within Eclipse. To do this, I have enabled annotation processing in the Java compiler options and added the following JARs:

- eclipselink-jpa-modelgen_2.1.2.v20101206-r8635.jar
- javax.persistence_2.0.1.v201006031150.jar
- eclipselink.jar

Eclipse generates a folder for the generated source code in the project folder (called "generated" -- I changed this from the default) but no classes inside that folder.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Code for the entity class:
/**
 * Copyright (c) 2010 Martin Geisse
 *
 * This file is distributed under the terms of the MIT license.
 */

package name.martingeisse.leckermittag.experiment;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

/**
 * A simple test entity for EclipseLink experiments.
 */
@Entity
public class Todo {

	/**
	 * the id
	 */
	private Long id;

	/**
	 * the summary
	 */
	private String summary;

	/**
	 * the description
	 */
	private String description;

	/**
	 * Constructor.
	 */
	public Todo() {
	}

	/**
	 * Getter method for the id.
	 * @return the id
	 */
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}

	/**
	 * Setter method for the id.
	 * @param id the id to set
	 */
	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	/**
	 * Getter method for the summary.
	 * @return the summary
	 */
	public String getSummary() {
		return summary;
	}

	/**
	 * Setter method for the summary.
	 * @param summary the summary to set
	 */
	public void setSummary(String summary) {
		this.summary = summary;
	}

	/**
	 * Getter method for the description.
	 * @return the description
	 */
	public String getDescription() {
		return description;
	}

	/**
	 * Setter method for the description.
	 * @param description the description to set
	 */
	public void setDescription(String description) {
		this.description = description;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Todo [summary=" + summary + ", description=" + description + "]";
	}

}

One thing you could try as an alternative would be the metamodel generation capabilities available in Dali Java Persistence Tools. These tools are integrated directly into Eclipse and do not require additional compiler configuration.

See the section called "JPA 2.0 Canonical Metamodel Generation" at the link below for more info.

http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/releases/3.2.0/NewAndNotewor thy/jpa.php

Dali is available via the Helios Software Site and is a part of the Web Tools project. It is included in the Helios Java EE package.

For more info on Dali - http://eclipse.org/webtools/dali/
