Description Blaise Doughan

2010-07-19 10:07:01 EDT

The class org.eclipse.persistence.internal.helper.ClassConstants references alot of EclipseLink classes and in turn introduces many transitive dependencies.  For example SDO impl classes are transitively dependent on org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.parsing.jpql.antlr.JPQLLexer.  

These transitive dependencies may be causing some class loading issues.

The class constants class was introduced as a performance optimization.  Due to compiler advances this optimization may no longer be required.

This was fixed in EclipseLink 2.5.0 as part of another bug fix with the creation of o.e.p.internal.core.helper.CoreClassContants.
