Add JPA support to project
You can add Java™ Persistence API (JPA) support to a faceted project by adding the Java Persistence project facet.
You can only add the JPA project facet to faceted projects - projects that use the faceted project framework for adding functionality. Examples of faceted projects are a dynamic Web project and an EJB project. A project facet is a specific unit of functionality that you can add to a project when that functionality is required. When a project facet is added to a project, it can add natures, builders, classpath entries, and resources to a project, depending on the characteristics of the particular project.
Note: Java projects (File > New > Java Project) are not faceted projects by default. To convert a Java project to a JPA project, see Converting a Java project to a JPA project.
To add JPA support to a project:
- In the Package Explorer view, select the project and then in the main menu click Project > Properties. The Properties page opens.
- Click the Project Facets property.
- In the list of project facets, select Java Persistence 1.0 and then click Apply. Java Persistence 1.0 facet is added to your project.
- Click OK. The properties pages closes.
