Hi Lilian,
I don’t understand why you don’t plan to support JPA annotation generation??? :?:
I mean, to put it simple my point is this:
JPA is an accepted Standard in IT/JAVA community! I know a lot of projects that have chosen to develop their Entity-Layer like this, to be independent from the underlying ORM-Layer (Hibernate, Toplink…)
It would be great to have a tool like VP to support such a standard. If you can generate Hibernate Annotations, what is so difficult to write templates that support PLAIN JPA?? Maybe someone should take some time and read the EJB-JPA spec ( [java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html] ). This can’t be so hard… I myself develop a lot of projects using JPA and i have to do a lot of annotating by hand, as VP does not support it 
I own a VP 6.1 Professional license. It would be great if you would change your minds an start developing JPA templates to give them to your paying customers. I even would pay for that kind of feature (to some extend).
Regards,
Martin
