My google-fu has come up with a working link for Jpa Query Tool: http://www.f1cd.ru/soft/base/j/jpa_query_tool/jpa_query_tool_06/jqt-0.6b.zip

Until Eclipse Dali gets a generic JPQL editor you can use Hibernate Tools. Hibernate Tools works with Dali and provides a HQL/JPQL query editor which uses Hibernate to execute the queries.

An alternative would be to use the JPA Query Tool [JQT], an Interactive JPA query editor and runner. It might be closer to what you're looking for (runs as a standalone application).

Update: I removed the tool suggested for NetBeans, the project is inactive and doesn't provide anything.

Did you check whether NetBeans, Eclipse or IntelliJ do what you want?

Especially with the Hibernate Plugin for Eclipse, this should be possible (if you use Hibernate as your JPA Backend).

Answer 5

You also have Hibernate Tool Suite, which is based on NetBeans

Looks like IntelliJ 10 will complement the HSQL editor with an JPQL editor. (Assuming that branch 96.xxx is version 10)
