JPA Diagram Editor Project

Overview

The JPA Diagram Editor enables the JPA developers to create, view, and edit their business data model as graphical diagram. For detailed information, see the project proposal.

The JPA Diagram Editor recently passed successfully a Move Review. We are now in transitional state of moving the code and the infrastructure from the WTP Incubator to the WTP Dali project.

Project Status

First official release (0.5) is a fact! Currently, the project is in process of moving to Dali. See the next section for installation instructions.

Known Problems

  • Registering of JPA entities in persistence.xml causes inconsistent editor behavior – Eclipse bug #257530
  • Refactoring entity class (from outside the diagram editor) causes disappearing of the corresponding pictogram from the diagram - Eclipse bug #324026
