It has been very annoying not being able to configure exclusions for compiler warnings in eclipse. In many projects, there are auto-generated files that do not comply to any coding standards and our ‘Problems’ perspective is bloated with warnings that are not interesting at all.

JPA specification allows up to two simultaneous eager fetches. But sometimes when we really need to this – we are stuck. One way to achieve this is to use hibernate extensions. We could do something like this: @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "keys") @Fetch(value = FetchMode.SUBSELECT)private List<T> […]
