JPAQL editor with Hibernate Tools

[asookazian]

Currently, MyEclipseIDE 6.0.x does not have a JPAQL-specific editor (only HQL editor). For details, please read the following thread I started:

http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=18951

Jboss Tools includes Hibernate Tools:

http://docs.jboss.org/tools/2.0.0.GA/hibernatetools/en/html_single/index.html (see 3.7. Hibernate Console perspective)

After reading the Hibernate Tools doc above, it looks like there is no JPAQL-specific editor (only HQL like MyEclipseIDE). Although I haven’t tried it yet.

Does anybody use or know of a JPAQL editor that we can use? Does the HQL editor in Hibernate Tools work with JPA projects?

hehe - MyEclipse bundles Hibernate Tools but does not know that HQL is a superset of JPQL ;)

Anyhow, hibernate tools does not put such arbitrary restrictions in place.

The HQL editor supports both HQL and JPAQL because HQL>JPAQL.

It just needs a Hibernate Console configuration which can be based on JPA META-INF/persistence.xml and hence be JPA based - this is how we support if for Seam projects.
