Thanks....This helped me with the same problem. When running as a web app I got the "Bad" path but when running as an application I got the "Good" path.

Bad /C:/Program Files (x86)/IBM/SDP/runtimes/base_v7/plugins/javax.j2ee.persistence.jar

Good /C:/hibernate-release-4.1.7.Final%20(1)/hibernate-release-4.1.7.Final/lib/required/hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
