Product Version = NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 201211040001) Operating System = Windows 7 version 6.1 running on amd64 Java; VM; Vendor = 1.7.0_09 Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 23.5-b02 for a native query GF responses an error message (primary key). Full description at http://netbeans.org/projects/www/lists/netcat/archive/2012-03/message/16 solution for this problem: in persistance.xml (xml mode) add <property name="eclipselink.jpa.uppercase-column-names" value="true"/> next, switch to design mode --> no porperty is visible it seem, NB only displays "well known" properties a) display all properties which are added in xml mode b) add "eclipselink.jpa.uppercase-column-names" to the list of the "name" combobox (wich is displayed after you clicked onto add property)
for b) I guess NB reads the whole XML file and the displays all properties which exists in the combobox "name" Please check, wehther a property name does not exist. If unknown, dynamically add it to the combo, just for this session. Thus, all properties defined in xml mode might be displayed in desighn mode too. If the type of value cannot be determined, use string as default. (true or false might be interpreted as boolean, thus both values might be offered in the value combobox)
there was some reason to show only known properties, will add eclipselink.jpa.uppercase-column-names as fast fix, but may be enhancment can be filed to support also unknown properties some way, may be suggested above.
for other providers there may be just a few known properties and it was initially designed this way, as before there was no properties in design view at all, there is a way o enhance it. for mentioned property fix is http://hg.netbeans.org/web-main/rev/a2cd4622688f
