Hi Andrew, Your decision to opt for build-time enhancement is the right choice. The wrinkles around the mechanics of bytecode enhancement process is the responsibility of OpenJPA team. And we perhaps havn't done a good job of it from a usability point of view. Moreover, we have introduced several alternatives that can bypass bytecode enhancement at build time. However, these mechanics often carry forward edge errors that manifest as runtime errors and are difficult to track. Here are few suggestions. Please add our perspectives a) emphasize the import of bytecode enhancement at build time in our document. The XML b) make the mechanics more accessible -- they exist but are hard to find c) block or at least inhibit other modes such that the developer can do the right thing and not get tangled in a weave at runtime.
