I'm happy to announce that the JPA Diagram Editor project version 0.5.0 was successfully released! This release is compatible with Eclipse IDE Helios and requires Graphiti 0.7.0 version. Check the project wiki for installation instructions.
This release comes out with a lot of bug fixes. There are some enhancements left for the next release.
The JPA Diagram Editor 0.5.0 is enabled for JPA 1.0/2.0 projects although it should be used to visualize JPA 1.0 compliant entities only. The next release will have full JPA 2.0 support.
I'd like to thank my colleagues Petya Sabeva and Kaloyan Raev for their support and commitment on the project. Acknowledgements go also to Ram, Tuukka, Alex and all the other community members who helped us with their bugs logged in Eclipse Bugzilla.
The JPA Diagram Editor was presented at Eclipse Summit Europe 2010 and its JPA 2.0 compliant version will be presented at Eclipse Con 2011.
Stay alert for the next release!
Interested in feding the JPA Editor from a model transformation
ОтговорИзтриванеAs the "JPA Editor" is based on the project "Graphiti" based in turn on EMF, I have assumed that the publisher could be fed through a M2M transformation, if the metamodel editor is available. Is that so? If so, could provide the metamodel or how to obtain for study.
A model-driven student...

Yes, Graphiti is based on EMF, but actually it allows any kind of model to be mapped to the graphical representation ... thankfully, because the model, representing design-time Java persistent tooling in Eclipse - Dali is not EMF based. You can read more about Dali here:

So, there is no M2M transformation involved in the JPA Diagram Editor implementation.

Thanks, for your interest!
