The editor doesn't seem to be able to handle some valid annotation elements. When creating Java Persistence entities, the relationship annotations (@OneToMany, @ManyToMany, etc.) have a cascade element. Setting the cascade element in the relationship annotation causes a "cannot find symbol" error for the in the editor. For example in: @OneToMany(cascade=REMOVE, mappedBy="order") public Collection<LineItem> getLineItems() { return lineItems; } The first line causes an editor syntax error, with the following error in the popup: cannot find symbol symbol: variable REMOVE location: <source file name> From the EJB Persistence spec: "The cascade element specifies the set of cascadable operations that are propagated to the associated entity. The operations that are cascadable are defined by the CascadeType enum: public enum CascadeType { ALL, PERSIST, MERGE, REMOVE, REFRESH};"
