Working on this to add to EasyGloss.

There are a number of rules that JPA entities must obey:

  • equals and hashCode must only be based on the persistent fields that are @Id annotated.
  • annotations must be applied to either fields or getters, no mix & match (although future versions of the spec may provide for such)
  • In general, getters and setters should be simple methods (i.e. no complex processing)

I want to have a JPA Entity excerciser that will check these rules for you (and can be included in your unit tests)
