Hi Michael,
How mean I am? Sorry I did not reply back. Thanks for the replies I have
installed Dali 2.1 plugin. Um... one more question though. This plugin is for
JPA or OpenJPA? it never says anything about OpenJPA and keeps talking about
JPA.
Thanks.
Hi Arjun,
Without the plugin (or one of the other enhancement mechanisms) you'll still
be able to maintain the state of the database in your pojos. OpenJPA won't
be as efficient as it can be though. Many applications will work without
enhancement, but performance may be worse and they'll consume more memory
than needed.
The plugin installs via the Eclipse update site mechanism from the site:
The plugin is available from the update site
http://people.apache.org/~ppoddar/eclipse/
Use Update Manager Help->Software Updates... to install it in Eclipse
platform.
Regards,
-mike
