Hi all, I just wrote a small JUnit 5 extension which executes the enhancement "in place" (as our maven plugin). Rational was to have right-click -> run feature of intellij working without having to setup openjpa:enhance. Indeed it has some limitation (like the class must not be scanned/loaded before it is executed) but it solves my dev workflow issue so I thought I would send it there and see if it can be interesting to contribute it (or not ;)).
Here is the extension: https://gist.github.com/rmannibucau/3aeb87aa76ab8bbceae1b5bac4aa0b9a Its usage is pretty simple - even if it requires some explicit listing of classes, it can be shared through a junit5 stereotype/meta-annotation - and we can add scanning of file:// urls too if needed: @OpenJPASupport(entities = { "org.superbiz.BaseEntity", "org.superbiz.MyEntity" }) class MyJpaTest {} Let me know if some of you are interested in getting it on openjpa master, I would be happy to add it - and if you think it does not belong there it is fine too ;).
