How to turn off DataNucleus Enhancer while working with Google App Engine

Question

I am working in Eclipse on a Google AppEngine Java code. Every time I save a java file, the DataNucleus Enchancer starts off \"Enhancement of Classes\". Its quite irritating

Answer 1

You can restrict which classes DataNucleus watches for changes so that it only re-runs the enhancement when your model classes actually change.

Go to the Project's properties, and select Google->App Engine->Orm. There you can specify patterns for the files to watch.

For example, I put all my model beans in a model/ subdirectory, so a pattern of src/**/model works for me. There are also example patterns under the 'Add' dialogue.
