title: Eclipse JPA Tools: Connect with service name instead of SID
body: <p>I am trying to generate entities from the database tables using JPA Tools features in eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware that we can use service name and connect using </p>
  
  <pre><code>jdbc:oracle:thin:@//oracle.hostserver.mydomain.ca:1234/ABCD
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that we don't have SID due to some constraints and JPA Tools doesn't allow me to edit the connection URL. Connection URL is a non-editable field in the "New Connection" screen. URL is formed based on the inputs the user enters. I have referred to multiple SO questions but it didn't help. Any pointers are appreciated.</p>
