Description

Description

After #46728 the Hibernate ORM dev UI looks like below.

The structure is a bit inconsistent, let's improve on that? In particular:

  1. There's a top tab for "persistence units", but then the content of each tab also shows content that is essentially "per persistence unit". That tab should probably be named "DDL" instead?
  2. Persistence unit selection is done differently in "DDL"/"Entities"/"Named queries" tabs (one tab per persistence unit) vs. "HQL console" (select box). I would suggest using a single select box, putting it at the very top, to the left of the row of tabs. Note that might require changes to Dev UI support in Quarkus, but @phillip-kruger would be able to point us in the right direction.
  3. The same probably holds for the Dev UI of Hibernate Search extensions (ORM + Standalone) too.

Research direction
Review the current structure of Hibernate Dev UI tabs, particularly the 'persistence units' tab and the persistence unit selection mechanism. Examine the implementation of #46728 for context. Consult with @phillip kruger on potential changes to Dev UI support. The solution involves renaming a tab, unifying persistence unit selection across tabs, and applying similar changes to Hibernate Search extensions.
