public final class MetadataConstants extends Object
INTERNAL: Common metadata processing constants. Of particular interest are JPA annotations and enums. To ensure EclipseLink remains compliant from release to release, we refer to all JPA annotations and enums with string names. We also do this to be consistent (and alleviate any thought process as to which annotations can and can not be referenced by class). NOTE: Internal EclipseLink annotations can always be referred to by class. 2.1 OR/Metadata annotations will not be added to the eclipselink jar as the 2.0 annotations were. With this solution in place many of the 2.0 annotations can also be removed from the jar.
Since:
EclipseLink 1.1
