RIFE's database layer tries to do as little magic as possible, so a lot of things are very intuitive. It does a lot less than Hibernate though, we for instance don't have our own query language but use object oriented query builders instead (they handle the DB SQL syntax abstraction). There's also no support for table inheritance or automatic population of collection properties. We do plan on adding these in the future.

I imagine, though, that it does everything you have needed it to do in real-world systems over the last 4 years.

Yup.

Coool! I'm actively looking into making X-develop more intelligent for RIFE and provide code hyper-linking in between files. I just spent 2 weeks with Eclipse exclusively to try it out thoroughly and I switched back to X-develop today.

How did you like Eclipse by comparison?

I like the fact that you can provide virtually everything as a plugin, however it's very slow. I also miss a lot of X-develop's features like: uncluttered UI, instant project-wide error checking, one key-press to browse through all the errors, debug console expression execution, back-in-time debugging, automatic reordering of MRU editor tabs.
