OpenJPA Enhancer Ant Task in a Netbeans Project

In the build.xml of the project (likely this will be a Java Class Library project), override -post-compile or -pre-jar and invoke <openjpac/>. You will need to add the build/classes and the openjpa jars to <taskdef/> and <openjpac/>. The <openjpac/> will enhance all classes mentioned in persistence.xml (which has to be in the classpath)

You can refer to the OpenJPA jars by either a <fileset> with the file path to the OpenJPA directory or by refererring to a Netbeans Library instead. You can create a OpenJPA Library via Tools ⇒ Libraries ⇒ New Library and add all the jars to the Library. If you name the library “OpenJPA” then you can refer to its classpath with  <pathelement path="${libs.OpenJPA.classpath}"/>. See the commented code in the build.xml above.




IMPORTANT+: You may be tempted to put the <path> and the <taskdef> outside the <target>. I strongly disencorage this. If you do so then you need to ensure that ./build/classes directory is there before <path> is evaluated otherwise openjpac will fail to locate the META-INF/persistence.xml. So when you do an ant clean, the build/classes is deleted. If you do a ant jar after the ant clean, the build/classes will not be picked up by path and it will fail with a


 [openjpac] <openjpa-1.2.1-r752877:753278 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.u
til.MetaDataException: MetaDataFactory could not be configured (conf.newMetaData
FactoryInstance() returned null). This might mean that no configuration properti
es were found. Ensure that you have a META-INF/persistence.xml file, that it is
available in your classpath, or that the properties file you are using for confi
guration is available. If you are using Ant, please see the <properties> or <pro
pertiesFile> attributes of the task's nested <config> element. This can also occ
ur if your OpenJPA distribution jars are corrupt, or if your security policy is
overly strict.
 [openjpac]     at org.apache.openjpa.meta.MetaDataRepository.initializeMetaData
Factory(MetaDataRepository.java:1567)



Although you can ensure that build/classes is always there overriding -post-clean and creating it there with something like:

<span class='line'>&lt;target name="-post-clean">
</span><span class='line'>        &lt;mkdir dir="${build.classes.dir}"/>
</span><span class='line'>&lt;/target></span>

Then you will fall into a second problem: ${build.classes.dir} variable is not accesible outside the <target>. That variable is loaded through -init-project target. So you will be forced to use something like ./build/classes instead of a proper ${build.classes.dir}. So it’s better to define the task inside the target.

By the way, if you don’t set properly the classpath you will probably get an exception like this
