Oracle workshop for weblogic 10g3 missing JPA

It seems that Oracle in it's wisdom deliberately removed JPA tools from Oracle Workshop for Weblogic 10g3.

The simple solution? Copy the feature from an existing Europa 3.3.2 WTP install.
For some reason, you can't use the eclipse update manager (Webtools update site) to download it - Oracle zapped the file I think? They only seem to offer the later Dali version, which of course doesn't work on the current europa based Workshop 10g3

The files to copy are:

• features/org.eclipse.jpt.feature_1.0.2.v200802140100-77-7_CYQCD2CaLYCHCD
• plugins/
  
  • org.eclipse.jpt.core_1.0.2.v200802140100.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.db.ui_1.0.0.v200705300001.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.db_1.0.2.v200802140100.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.doc.user_1.0.1.v200709120000.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.gen_1.0.2.v200802140100.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.ui_1.0.2.v200802140100.jar
  • org.eclipse.jpt.utility_1.0.2.v200802140100.jar

I actually made an eclipse extension directory for this, but really, this should be dumped into the bea/tools/eclipse_pkgs/2.0/eclipse_3.3.2/eclipse directory since this is really really the original eclipse europa. SILLY BEA/ORACLE!!!

You also need the Data Tools Project, get as a minimum 1.5.2 version: ie:

Update manager: Europa Discovery Site -> Database Development & -> Enabling Features -> Data Tools Platform JDT enablement

This downloads:

• org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.feature
• org.eclipse.datatools.modelbase.feature
• org.eclipse.datatools.sqldevtools.feature
• org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.feature
• org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.generic.ui
• org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.generic
• org.eclipse.datatools.doc.user

Then you can do New -> Project -> JPA project as usual.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this is only Dali 1.0, so use the 1.0 tutorial at as an example tutorial
