<section class="main" name="About Dali">
<description>
The goal of the Dali JPA Tools Project,
a sub-project of the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/webtools">
Web Tools Platform Project</a>, is to build extensible frameworks and
exemplary tools for the definition and editing of
Object-Relational (O/R) mappings for Java
Persistence API (JPA) Entities. JPA mapping support will
focus on minimizing the complexity of mapping by providing
creation and automated initial mapping wizards, and
programming assistance such as dynamic problem
identification.

The focus of Dali is support for JPA O/R mapping which is
concerned with the persistence of in memory Java POJOs to
relational databases. The title of the famous painting "The
Persistence of Memory" aptly describes the goal of the JPA
specification and provides the link to the Spanish painter
Salvador Dali.
