It would be nice if all of the following variants would be supported. Allowing expressions in the query would be great too. Also see http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212951

@NamedQueries({
    //jpql completion
    @NamedQuery(name = "MyEntity.findByName0", query = "SELECT me FROM MyEntity me WHERE me.name=:name"),
    //no jpql completion
    @NamedQuery(name = MyEntity.ENTITY_NAME + ".findByName1", query = "SELECT me FROM MyEntity me WHERE me.name=:name"),
    @NamedQuery(name = MyEntity.QUERY, query = "SELECT me FROM MyEntity me WHERE me.name=:name")
})
@Entity(name = MyEntity.ENTITY_NAME)
public class MyEntity implements Serializable {

    public static final String ENTITY_NAME = "MyEntity";
    /**
     * Parameters: name ({@link String})
     */
    public static final String QUERY = ENTITY_NAME + ".findByName2";
