Hi, This might be interesting to some: https://rapidclipse.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOCEN/JPA-SQL.
It's an external DSL for writing queries which are translated into JPA Criteria API queries then. There's a dedicated editor for that DSL, with auto-completion etc. I.e. one should get the feel of writing JPQL, but in a more comfortable manner (error detection right in the editor, refactoring support etc.) I haven't tried it out, but I think it's a nice idea. What's not clear to me is though why this isn't JPQL proper; that's the "language specification": https://rapidclipse.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DOCEN/JPA-SQL+Language+Specification. Perhaps only a sub-set of JPQL can be transformed into equivalent Criteria API calls?
