Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-652:
------------------------------------

@Matthew, you open Eclipse (and set it up to have the annotation processor 
enabled). You write a model class ("Person"). When pressing "Save" Eclipse will 
attempt to compile it. Prior to compilation all files to be compiled that have 
the required annotations (@PersistenceCapable) are passed to the annotation 
processor(s). The annotation processor generates the equivalent query source 
code (QPerson). The compiler then compiles all classes (model + query).

When compilation has finished the user starts to write a persistence class. 
They can reference Person and QPerson since both are compiled classes.

> There are various querying capabilities of this type around. JPA2 has its 
> Criteria query API. Third party solutions like QueryDSL also exist, in its 
> case providing a JDOQL implementation (as well as JPQL, and HQL). We should 
> seriously consider introducing something along these lines in the JDO2.4 
> timeframe. 
> There is a comparison of JPA Criteria with QueryDSL over at
