Parser:
- Make the entire API public.
   - Move the parser classes from
      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.internal.jpql.parser
      to
      org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jpql.parser
   - Change the visibility of the classes to be public
   - Change the visibility of the methods to be either public or protected 
- Create a JPQL grammar, split JPA 1.0 and JPA 2.0 into two different grammars
- Add support to parse JPQL fragment (being able to parse only a portion of a JPQL query)
- Add a default implementation of the SPI that accesses Java classes
 
Extensibility support
- Add extensibility support for the JPQL grammar (allows extending the grammar defined in the spec)
- Move EclipseLink specific support to be an extension over the default grammar
- Separate validation and content assist support into default (pure JPA) and EclipseLink
 
State object model
- Create a new state object model that allows editing (the parsed tree is read-only)
- Allow the state model to be manually created
- Create a builder that converts an existing JPQL query (String) into a state object model
 
- Refactoring support:
   - Renaming an identification variable
   - Renaming an entity name
   - Renaming a path within a path expression
   - Renaming a class name (e.g. in a constructor expression)
   - Renaming an enum constant
