    Description

      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.
