Generator-jhipster: Add Support for EclipseLink as JPA provider

[xurror]

Overview of the feature request

JHipster uses hibernate as default JPA provider which has proven to be very effective, but eclipselink has made huge improvements over the years with few tradeoffs between the the 2. Also EclipseLink happens to be the reference implementation for JPA 2.0

Motivation for or Use Case

EclipseLink is the reference JPA implementation.
It is also a very suitable alternative to hibernate.

I don't think we can handle/support a second JPA provider. This might be a good thing to put into a blueprint/module imho.

I believe Apache Roller supports EclipseLink and Hibernate and it's not too difficult to switch between them. It's possible you only need to change a few files to do this.

I thought ASF has a license conflict with hibernate. We faced a similar problem with Apache Fineract where we had to switch the provider.

This sounds reasonable. I will try to propose a PR for this. Thanks.

Yes, it does. That's why we ship Roller with Eclipse and tell people how to change to Hibernate.

Awesome! We try to support where possible, don't hesitate to reach put. I will close this issue here.
