Is there a mechanism for adding EclipseLink as a JPA provider for MyEclipse projects and reverse engineering? Can I just replace the toplink essentials libraries in the setup?
-David
I have never tried using EclipseLink with MyEclipse. I’ll check with my team.

You can go to Windows > Preferences > MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Project Capabilities > JPA > TopLink and replace the libraries there.

Any update on using EclipseLink with MyEclipse?
From the Oracle Toplink Homepage:
the use of TopLink Essentials has been replaced with EclipseLink JPA.
As Nipun mentioned above, you can always replace our Toplink libraries with EclipseLink libraries, but persistence.xml will need manual conversion to work with EclispeLink. EclipseLink support is definitely on the cards for MyEclipse, a timeline for this has not yet been established, but we expect to support it in early 2009.
Hope this helps

Good to know, thanks!
Any update on the timeline for EclipseLink support? I’m interested in using EclipseLink, but not losing the nice JPA tools in MyEclipse.
In the meantime is the easiest approach still to use the Toplink support and then massage the persistence.xml file? I looked at the Eclipse Dali project briefly but it looks like there’s conflicts between the MyEclipse pluging requirements and the current Dali requirements so I bailed on that. I’m on MyEclipse 7.1…
skolson,
MyEclipse 7.1 does have EclipseLink support. We include EclipseLink 1.0.2 libraries and you can select EclipseLink when creating a new JPA project. If you already have an existing project, I suggest you create a new dummy project and copy in the persistence.xml file from there (we will improve this in the future). You would also need to add the EclipseLink container to your project.
Hope this helps.
