Introduction

Important: Please visit the Home Page, especially Get Started section, for important information before installing the module and using it.

Persistence Explorer Plugin for NetBeans is a convenient tool that mimics the Database Explorer in NetBeans, providing support to perform simple operations related to JPA 2.0 within the IDE.

This module adds a Persistence node to the Services window. From within the Persistence node you can do the following:

• Manage the registry of third-party persistence providers and user persistence units.
• Manage the configurations of user persistence units, include persistence providers and JDBC drivers they are using.
• Browse the metamodel of a user persistence unit.
• Tune and execute queries from within a simple JPQL editor and view the results immediately.

Here is a screen shot.

By now, it's just a development version with many limitations and known-issues, but it's still ideal for a JPA developer to learn the specification, tune JPQL queries and then inspect the results immediately without the need to deploy applications. Sorry for the temporary inconvenience, I'm working hard to improve its stability and usability, preparing for the first stable release.

If you like the idea, please rate it. Thanks!
