Document Querydsl Roo support better

Document Querydsl Roo support better. The APT based approach works only if all the relevant data is on the source level (RooJpaEntity annotation and property declarations).

I am the person who reported this on Twitter :-). I am a beginner on Roo and over the past few weeks I've built a data model for a small case study I'm doing for my PhD. I don't mind sharing it if it helps find out something. Shall I?

In short, I have a hierarchy of classes with @RooJpaEntity, some of which are extended with AspectJ ITDs. I don't really expect a source-based approach to pick up those ITDs, but it'd be nice if inheritance did work.

Let me revise that a bit: I have a few @RooJpaEntity classes, but many more use @RooJpaActiveRecord instead. Isn't RooJpaActiveRecord a superset of RooJpaEntity, as stated in the javadocs here?

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-roo/blob/master/addon-jpa/src/main/java/org/springframework/roo/addon/jpa/activerecord/RooJpaActiveRecord.java

I created most of my classes with the usual Roo commands and most of them don't actually use RooJpaEntity but RooJpaActiveRecord instead.

Ok, then at least one improvement on the APT side could be to support both RooJpaEntity and RooJpaActiveRecord.

Thanks, that would be great :-).
