Just to share:

To get eclipse auto-complete to work correctly for @NodeEntity annotation with .persist() and other methods

Add the "spring-data-neo4j-aspects" dependency in the pom.xml and in the aspectj-maven-plugin add an entry for this in the aspectLibrary like:

Code:
             <aspectLibrary>
              <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
              <artifactId>spring-data-neo4j-aspects</artifactId>
            </aspectLibrary>
Do a maven build and verify whether this is added to the aspect path.

SDC guys,
Can this be added directly as a dependency to "spring-data-neo4j" or was it a conscious decision to leave this out?
