Renato Garcia commented on JDO-615:
-----------------------------------

I think IndexMetadata.getUnique has been changed by mistake here http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/db/jdo/branches/2.3-ea/api2/src/java/javax/jdo/metadata/IndexMetadata.java?view=diff&r1=737665&r2=724172&diff_format=u

     /**
      * Accessor for whether unique.
      * 
      * @return Unique?
      */
-    Boolean getUnique();
+    boolean getUnique();

> We can specify MetaData via XML or annotations. The only way missing is via an API. I propose mirroring the XML structure with interfaces of the form
> public interface MetaData
> {
>     addExtension(String key, String value);
>     removeExtension(String key, String value);
>     ...
> }
> public interface FileMetaData
> {
>     addPackage(PackageMetaData pmd);
>     ...
> }
> public interface PackageMetaData
> {
>     addClass(ClassMetaData cmd)
>     ...
> }
> public interface ClassMetaData
> {
>     addField(FieldMetaData fmd)
>     ...
> }
> public interface FieldMetaData
> {
>     setInheritance(InheritanceMetaData inhmd)
>     ...
> }
> and so on.
> We would then require a method on the PMF to register the metadata.
> If there are no objections to such a feature I'll propose a patch to try to provide all current JDO2 capabilities.
