kazoo,
I could not replicate it at my end. The EntityManagerHelper.java is generated and ‘create DAO’ is also seen.
Can you answer some questions for me?
1. Can you copy paste your installation details from the menu bar MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details?
2. How did you update to 8.6? Is it through Pulse or through MyEclipse Configuration Center?
3. Did you see any errors during the update process?
4. Can you check if there are any specific errors logged in the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata folder? If yes then paste them here for me.
the wizard does not show the “create DAO” class like the it does in the JPA tutorial.Additionally, the process does not produce the EntityManagerHelper.java class
Can you send us the screenshots for the above? You can use the PM button for the same.
