This is an Eclipse quirk. I recently had exactly this problem when I created a new JPA project with the JPA library configuration disabled, but didn't manually configure the JPA libraries before I created the entities by the Eclipse New JPA Entity wizard. After creating the entities I configured the JPA libraries in project's Build Path (just by adding target Java EE server runtime in Libraries), but the validation error still remains. I could solve it in at least one of following ways:

1. Rightclick persistence.xml file, JPA Tools -> Synchronize Class List.
2. Or, rightclick project, Validate.
3. Or, close/reopen project.

This is consistently reproducible. I was using Eclipse Indigo SR1. When I create the entities after configuring the JPA libraries, this validation error doesn't occur.
