Answer 1

I figured out what the problem is here.... the JPA Facet is assuming that the META-INF folder is directly under a source folder. If you are using a Maven project, you likely have something like src/main/resources or src/test/resources. If your persistence.xml is under these folders it will complain. If you create a new source folder (call it "jpa") and create a META-INF/persistence.xml in there, then it will find it successfully. (I also had to do a clean/close/open project)

This is certainly a pain.... and I can see many situations this won't work well.
