Everything in @ELTable should be optional and the contents should override that of @Table.
What about a calling the annotation @TableExt (Ext for extension) or @TableOverrides or something else?

@ELTable?
--Doug 13:58, 5 October 2010 (UTC) My first impression is that I am not fond of duplicating standard JPA annotations with EL prefix if it can be avoided.
- Is this really a table scoped feature or is it a PU level config that should be applied to all tables (Note: Have not read the original request).
- PU Config
- PU Property
- Even if it is a table level config it would be nice to configure it once for all tables using a PU property
- eclipselink-orm.xml would allow an additional optional attribute in <table .../>
- Annotation
- If it is required at a per table level should we consider only supporting this using an eclipselink-orm.xml?
- If we believe an annotation is essential is there a better pattern to extend @Table without duplicating it?
