|  | Annotation processing tool generates source code for a metamodel class given | 
|  | the annotated source code of persistent entity. | 
|  | This tool is invoked during compilation for JDK6 compiler if OpenJPA and JPA | 
|  | libraries are specified in the compiler <code class="code">-classpath</code> option <span class="emphasis"><em>and</em></span> | 
|  | Annotation processor option <code class="code">-Aopenjpa.metamodel=true</code> is specified. |

|  | will generate source code for canonical meta-model class <code class="code">mypackage.MyEntity_</code>. | 
|  | The source code is generated relative to the directory specified in <code class="code">-s</code> option | 
|  | of <code class="code">javac</code> compiler and defaulted to the current directory. |
