Thanks for your time Neil!

No joy -- In a nut shell I loaded Dali R-2.1.11 in a fresh Eclipse.  The 
DB2 enhancements are available but Dali can't run the Build entity from 
Table nor validate against the data base connection.

See the gorry details below.


> get the DB2 Enablement plugins from DTP

I tried that and ended up disabling JPA in my working Eclipse.  No errors 
in log but it no longer has a JPA perspective.  

Okay.  Hmmm.  Tried something else...  This post mentioned the R-2.1.11 so 
I built a new Eclipse following the directions on 
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R2.1/R-2.1.1-20090226062131/

Since this is all latest and greated I downloaded Eclipselink 1.1RC

I created a new workspace.

This one has a JPA perspective and it had the DB2 options in connection 
wizard.  

Hurray!!

But I get the same behavior of the JPA Tools create Entity from Tables is 
not showing any schema.

Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!

I manually built Entities.

After I build the Entites JPA has a bunch of errors when the data base is 
connected, Schema cannot be resolved and Column cannot be resolved.

I can disconnect the database, compile and run the tests successfully with 
these Entites.  The Entities and persistence.xml works.

This isn't new for for R-2.1.11, I saw same thing before.  I am assuming 
these error are part of the same symptom, JPA being unable to get to the 
databases to read the schemas and validate the tables.
