Description Karen Butzke CLA 2010-06-07 13:31:40 EDT 
If you list interface model.Foo in the persistence.xml Dali gives a validation error that 'Class "model.Foo" cannot be resolved'. The JPA spec does not support interfaces, but at the least it seems like we could give a better validation error for this.
Comment 1 Neil Hauge CLA 2011-07-01 16:23:55 EDT 
Moving JPA specific bugs to new JPA component in bugzilla.
Comment 2 Neil Hauge CLA 2011-10-07 12:52:05 EDT 
Targeting to Juno release.
Comment 3 Karen Butzke CLA 2012-03-22 17:31:55 EDT 
Probably not important enough to add a new validation error for this at this point.
Comment 4 Karen Butzke CLA 2012-12-04 16:52:03 EST 
The bug as described has changed:
1. An enum listed in the persistence.xml class list leads to the validation error: 'Class "FooEnum" cannot be resolved'
2. An interface listed in the persistence.xml class list leads to validation errors: 'Class "FooInterface" is included in a persistence unit, but is not mapped', 'The Java class for mapped type "FooInterface" must define a non-private zero-argument constructor

With my fix for this bug we have 2 new validation errors for an enum or an interface that is listed in the persistence.xml. The above validation errors should not appear anymore.

1. 'Listed class "FooEnum"  must not be an enum'
2. 'Listed class "FooInterface" must not be an interface'

Verified in build I-3.5.0M4-20121217201101 that the validation errors were updated correctly for enum and interface.  To view steps to verify this issue go to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Dali_3.3_M4_Release
