    I don't understand your question.

    Let me explain what I do -- maybe it will clear things up.

    Instead of the typical _generated-entity.java and entity.java classes, I create

    _generated-entity.java -- class
    entity.java -- class

    _generated-entity-interface.java -- interface
    entity-interface.java -- interface
