Description Michel Graciano 2013-07-03 14:11:41 UTC 
If I have a non public top-level class defined in a class file and I annotate this class with @Embeddable or @Entity the IDE tells me that it is incorrect. I can't find any reference in the JPA 2.0 specification about that it must be public and I tested it with Eclipselink and worked fine so far.
Comment 1 Sergey Petrov 2013-07-03 14:44:42 UTC 
I can't find this requirement too.
Comment 2 Sergey Petrov 2013-07-03 15:20:51 UTC 
fix 9f1311910b91.
will remove this error hint.

on other side I see no code samples with not public classes neither in specification nor with quick internet search.
Comment 3 Michel Graciano 2013-07-03 16:30:33 UTC 
Yes, I can't see yet a useful scenario but since it is not mandatory by the spec it is worth to fix it. For the record, I was just doing some experimentation with some domain models and I haven't removed some annotations from classes I have pasted and it was when I saw the issue for the first time.
