Dali 1.0M7 Plan

Queries

• All ER's and Bugs targeted specifically for M7
• All ER's and Bugs targeted for 1.0 (ER's need to be targeted to M7 for inclusion in release)

Features To Consider

  • Ability to add JPA functionality to an existing Java project (nature to facet conversion) (Low)
  • Entity Gen extensibility (wholesale replacement concept) High (DDL type solution)
  • DDL Gen extensibility - High
  • Project Explorer (too big)
  • General UI Exensibility? (probably go with what we have now, which is you have to write your own UI)
  • Improve on existing functionality (given)
  • Text based Named Query Support - High (add to model, put in UI Details (Structure as phase 2), validation
  • Refactoring - > Move from annotation to XML; Action to convert JPA annotation metadata to ORM XML metadata (Medium) (post 1.0)
  • Project Rename? (High)
