I have downloaded the code for the examples with this book and am trying to get the "helloworld-jpa" example to work in Idea (version 6.0.2).

It works fine from ANT on the command line, but after opening the Idea files, I get a "Cannot resolve symbol" error on all of the annotation's attribute values.

For example in [Table(name="Messages"), Idea is reporting "Cannot resolve symbol" on the ["Messages"] portion of the line. The same is true for the rest of the static text. This prevents me from running the examples within Idea.

Is this a problem with the Idea, the project setup of the contents of the example?

Thanks in advance.

Module configuration and library classpath wrong? If these are modules that shipped with the software, I created them with IntelliJ 5, not 6. Although that should be compatible.

This issue is resolved by disabling one of the inspections in the project.

In the Project Settings, you find the inspection settings under "Errors."

Turn off the following inspection:

Inspections > Java EE Issues > DataSource ORM Annotations Problems

Does anyone know how to fix the links so this checking can actually be useful in Intellij Idea? I would like to be able to use the feature when generating new beans...

I encoutred a few times, i just did a 'rebuild project', prbolem went away.

I too have encountered this problem with IDEA 6 and could never satisfactorily resolve it.

Everything worked, but the HibernateTool just looked really ugly when underlined in red.
