[dali-dev] JPA Definitions

[Dmitry Geraskov <dgeraskov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey, guys,

I am working on updating Hibernate tools plugins to new Dali API.
There are some annotations which I would like to add support for. The 
supporting annotations names are added by specifying "definitions".
Lets look at JavaEntityDefinition.
It is a singleton which provides Iterable<String> of supporting 
annotation. The annotation names are stored in
*protected* static final String[] field.
As the JavaEntityDefinition has *private* constructor I can't reuse the 
annotaions array and it seems like a design problem.
I guess I should use the JavaEntityDefinitioninstance instance as a 
delegate if I want to extend the list, right?
But it seems to me that JavaEntityDefinition should have protected 
constructor or public SUPPORTING_ANNOTATION_NAMES_ARRAY field.
