James: I just attached my experimental IntelliJ plugin to
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-243. You might want to
give it a whirl.

The simplest scenario is, take any maven 2 project which is using hibernate.
Switch the hibernate jars to openjpa jars & edit the bits of the
persistence.xml that are required and have things work properly in your IDE
and maven build without having to resort to explicit bytecode post
processing in your build.

Yes to both

The enhancer is a good workaround for now, thanks. Though I still think it
should be easier for users; things should just work out of the box like they
do with hibernate without any secret ninja jvm tweaking, magic class loaders
or whatnot.

Mostly when you navigate into stack traces, or traverse class relationships
in the IDE you end up hitting the 'bytecode' (decompiled view) rather than
the source view.
