Welcome to the world of open-source development!

Providing the exact step-by-step setup is not as straight forward as one
might think.  Depending on the exact platform and current usage of Eclipse,
your setup may be slightly different.  But, I'll give you some pointers to
our documentation that should help with getting you started.  And, of
course, if you find any documentation lacking after you complete this
exercise, please contribute your findings back to the community so that the
next "newbie" will benefit.  Thanks.

Are you aware of the Apache OpenJPA wiki?  Home page=>
http://openjpa.apache.org/

>From here, you can traverse the various links on the right hand side of the
page for setting up a development and test environment.  It sounds like you
are most interested in the build environment.  I'd start with this page =>
http://openjpa.apache.org/building.html

Of course, once you have added or changed any code, you'll want to test it.
We have a very extensive JUnit bucket for testing.  Here's a bit of
information on that aspect => http://openjpa.apache.org/testing.html

One of the features of OpenJPA is our Entity enhancement processing which
allows us to provide runtime support for your Entities.  This page (
http://openjpa.apache.org/enhancement-with-eclipse.html) has information on
how to integrate our enhancement processing with Eclipse.  More information
on enhancement can be found here =>
http://openjpa.apache.org/entity-enhancement.html .

There was also a recent contribution for a "complete" Eclipse plugin for
OpenJPA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1412).  But, I can't
find any documentation on our wiki or documentation that describes how to
use it.  I'll copy the committer to find out where I'm not looking...  :-)

Hope this information helps get you started!  Good luck and post back often.

Thanks,
Kevin
