Comment 2 buddhika75 2014-03-23 19:12:40 UTC

I created two entities with one to many relationship. Bill and BillItem.
Create a property Bill bill inside the Bill entity. Then the yellow bulb appears, but selecting Bidirectional Many to One relationship, although brings the usual dialog for creating a field in the Bill entity, do not create the annotation in BillItem entity and also do not create any field with annotations in the Bill entity.

Comment 3 buddhika75 2014-03-23 19:16:13 UTC

Correction:
Create a property Bill bill inside the BillItem entity(NOT Bill entity as erroneously written in previous comment).

Comment 4 Sergey Petrov 2014-07-25 11:04:10 UTC

either fixed(there was some fixes in the area) or some important steps are mixed/missed.

tried NewEntity and NewEntityItem,
add NewEntity bill to NewEntityItem.
invoke "create bidirectional manytoone hint
dialog appeared - press ok
now I have 
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "bill")
    private List<NewEntityItem> newEntityItems;
in NewEntity.
