Hi Kevin, Why I considered starting to build a plugin for OpenJPA is two-fold:
a) to estimate and experience first hand, what is the complexity involved in developing a Eclipse based tooling for OpenJPA with this prototype. Starting as a novice, the effort was equivalent to 4 person-days. b) I have seen too many questions and doubts and reports that are related to enhancement in one way or other. Making enhancement a transparent (or perhaps even invisible) part of compilation process will remove/lower a barrier to wider adoption of OpenJPA. At this point, I have not pondered about future of this activity. All that I know is tooling is a high-priority item and the competitors are ahead. We should better get started. And the best help is often at the end of one's own arms :) I am open to any suggestions to collaborate with other people with similar interests. And perhaps i am slightly less clueless about Eclipse plugins than I was a week ago to participate in such collaborative efforts :) Regards and if you are a Eclipse user, be kind enough to give this plugin a try. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Eclipse-Plugin-for-OpenJPA-tp2372730p2373230.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
