NetBeans RCP & JPA (Part 2)
NetBeans RCP & JPA (Part 2)
As you know, JPA is just an API specification, which is implemented by different vendors, e.g. Hibernate, TopLink (TopLink Essentials, part of Glassfish, is the reference implementation) and OpenJPA. This means that you have two groups of JAR files: the one including only the public API classes (that for simplicity I’ll name jpa.jar) and the one including all the implementation stuff, plus the required libraries (again, for simplicity, I’ll name it vendor.jar, even though usually there are multiple files).
