generate a single entity will affect other non-related entites

[flyliu33]

Overview of the issue

Motivation for or Use Case

As project grows up, custom codes, aka business code will be huge difference comparing the original codes generated by jhipster and maintaining jdl file will be our daily job. What does we want is maintaining the jdl file and try not to make a negative impact on our custom code. However, if I maintain a single entity on a jdl file and use command either jdl or entity, it will affect other non-related code, make us have to solve the conflict and increase our maintenance cost.

Reproduce the error

Problem with command entity

1. Create and enter into a new folder and execute command git init.

2. Generate project by command jhipster jdl .\ms-ecommerce-store.jdl --auto-crlf with jdl file ms-ecommerce-store-original.txt

3. Modify some code base based on existing entities. Commit or not.

   • in store gateway service: SysViewPermissionRepository, SysViewPermissionRepositoryInternalImpl, SysViewPermissionResource, SysViewPermissionService, sys-view-permisson-details
   • in product microservice: OrderItemSearchRepository, OrderItemService, OrderItemResource, order-item.vue .

4. Execute command jhipster jdl .\ms-ecommerce-store.jdl --auto-crlf --json-only with a modified jdl file ms-ecommerce-store-modified.txt
