| <p>The <a href="getting_started006.htm#BABIDCBA">Tutorial Object Model</a> contains three entities: <span class="bold">Employee</span>, <span class="bold">Address</span>, and <span class="bold">PhoneNumber</span>. Use this procedure to add the entities to the project.</p> |
| <ol type="1" start="1"> |
| <li> |
| <p>Right-click the <span class="bold">Employee</span> project in the <span class="gui-object-title">Package Explorer</span> and select <span class="gui-object-action">New > Class</span>. The New Java Class dialog appears.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>On the <span class="gui-object-title">Java Class</span> dialog, enter a package name (such as <code>dali.tutorial.model</code>), class name (such as <code>Employee</code>), and click <span class="gui-object-action">Finish</span>. Eclipse adds the Employee entity to the Package Explorer.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>Select the <code>Employee</code> entity in the JPA Structure view.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p>In the JPA Details view, in the Map As field, select <span class="bold">Entity</span>. In the Table field, select the <span class="bold">EMPLOYEE</span> database table.</p> |

| <p>Eclipse adds the <code>@Entity</code> annotation to the class. Repeat this procedure to add the <span class="bold">PhoneNumber</span> and <span class="bold">Address</span> entities.</p> |
| <p>Notice that the Problems view reports several errors for each entity. We'll address these shortly.</p> |
