QueryDSL already does that for JDOQL

Thanks for the pointer, Andy. QueryDSL looks cool but I'm not certain
it's exactly what I'm looking for. In fact, their type-safe objects
may be too extreme for my purposes.
My general use case is that I present a GUI to the user with a large
number of potential search criteria. When they hit the search criteria
I want to build a query based upon what they have entered/selected.
This query may involve complex nesting of ands and ors, which is one
of the main problems I am trying to solve. I have hacked together
something that generally works and is able to translate into a JDOQL
query, but I was hoping that better minds had looked at the issue.
Usually I am building the query on the fly - I rarely do preassembled
queries based upon a specific query class.
