Deselecting this option generates only the DAO implementation class without a separate class defining the interface. Generate Java interfaces: Selecting this option creates an interface class with a corresponding DAO implementation class. This allows easy access to entities from the DB using any property as a means of finding them. Generate precise findBy methods: Tells MyEclipse to generate findBy XXX methods where XXX pertains to each property on the entities that are reversed. This code wraps the JPA entity manager and makes using the entities and the DB very easy. Java Data Access Generation: Tells MyEclipse to generate DAO utility classes for you that allow you to save/find/update/delete the entities from the database right away.
