I see a big potential in the above one, if properly implemented; the builder 
pattern could be very nice when used in groovy; and we could expand it to also 
provide support for views; I actually think that a nice entity query/view 
builder would help to:

1) make the code more efficient (less number of nested queries using more 
joined queries); the DynamicViewEntity api is not very developer friendly
2) slim down the number of view entities defined in xml: I don't like them 
because the definitions are too far from the code; because most of the time the 
view entity is only used in one place and so it unnecessarily pollute the 
entity definition files
