Hi Daniel,
Many thanks for your email!
That's right, it isn't currently in the official repository, its
currently in the sandbox/openejb-eclipse-plugin area. If you wanted to
team up that would be great - I would certainly find it very motivating
:). I think there's still a bit of work to do before its ready, the
following springs immediately to mind:
* Need to make the server view work with different version strings -
currently it works with openejb-3.0.0-SNAPSHOT but
openejb-3.0.0-beta2 for example didn't work (or at least it didn't
last time I tried)
* Make the PDE tests run during a Maven build (I've made a start on
this, but its not quite there)
* Add annotation generation for Entity beans (again, I've made a
start, I can get the orm.xml file that's generated from
ejb-jar.xml and openejb-jar.xml and passed to OpenJPA, and read it
into the JAXB tree. I think generating most of the annotations for
entity beans will be pretty straightforward from that structure.)
* I think some other refactorings for Entity beans will be needed -
such as making the bean class non-abstract and adding in the
member variables.
I guess the question is what's the best way to proceed - I currently
have some code in my own SVN repo which I ought to create a patch of and
get into the sandbox. I think it would also be useful if pop some notes
on the plugin up on the wiki. What do you think?
Thanks again for your e-mail, I'm looking forward to working with you
and making progress with the plugin!
Cheers
Jon

Hi there,
is it right that your Eclipse plugin isn't part of the official
OpenEJB SVN repo? If yes, has it been discussed on the ML to get
the code into the OpenEJB repository?
Maybe if you need some help to get the plugin into the OpenEJB
repository we could team up to make it happen...
What do you think?
Cheers
