Automagically enable db4o Transparent Persistence for Java via Eclipse
Transparent Activation/Transparent Persistence (TA/TP) significantly simplifies handling of deep object graphs in db4o based applications. The flip side is that this mechanism requires your persistent domain classes to provide appropriate API hooks. These hooks can be implemented manually, alternatively the tedious task of generating this boilerplate code can be delegated to the db4o bytecode instrumentation framework. So far there have been two options to trigger instrumentation: Programmatically, or through a custom Ant task. Now there is a third option, if you happen to be developing with Eclipse: Install the db4o instrumentation plugin and have your classes instrumented in-place and on-the-fly, taking advantage of Eclipse's incremental building features.
