[news.eclipse.technology.dali] Help setting up Dali in eclipse 3.5 on fe

[tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Tom H)]

Hi Dali Collective,

I am currently trying to setup Dali to work with a RAP application.

i) I have decided to use eclipselink as my JPA platform/implementation
ii) I am prototyping this with a MySQL 5.0x backend, and the mysql JDBC jar
iii) I installed the Dali 2.1 tools from the update site, and "installed 
software" is currently showing;

"Java Persistence API Tools - EclipseLink Support (Optional)
2.1.0.v200812180210-318Y9oA55S8_795555"

though I can't see Dali installed anywhere - I am not sure how to confirm 
this is installed correctly?
However I now have a "JPA" option in eclipse preferences, and I can set 
JPA properties on my projects.

iv) I have installed the OSGi bundle from the eclipselink - version 1.0.2;
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/downloads/
into the eclipse/dropins folder and restarted eclipse

v) in eclipse I can now set eclipselink as the JPA platform for my project
I have also set "discover annotated classes automatically" to true

vi) I have now switched to the JPA perspective and created a new 
connection to my database, 
it tests OK. I can create tables from the "Data source explorer" view.

vii) I can go to my project properties and set eclipselink as the JPA 
platform, and set my previously created MySQL connection there.
However I cannot click "connect" it is grayed out - is that a problem?

viii) I can now go to the "JPA content" to edit the connection properties 
in persistance.xml to use the previously created MySQL connection

ix) I have created a test class called "Cat" like so;
"public class Cat {

	private long id;
	private String name;
	private String likes;
	private Gender gender;"

and added getters and setters, except for setId. 

What libs or jars do I need to add to my project to allow it to recognise 
the Annotations?
Should I be adding the javax.persistence and eclipselink jar files from 
the main eclipselink download, I don't understand exactly where I should 
be getting those libs to add to my classpath.

Also I see no "Add Java Persistence..." wizard when right clicking my 
project.

I would be grateful for any help

Thanks,

Tom
