Auto generate data schema from JPA 2.1 annotated entity classes without a database connection

Question

Two years ago I was working on a project using:

• spring 4.0.3.RELEASE
• jpa 2.0
• hibernate 4.2.7.Final
• java 1.6.X

This pr

Answer 1

I was able to mix your Hibernate solution with JPA2.1:

I am now able to add the entity classes from the persistence.xml

This way I can generate the SQl file outside the jar where the entities are located.

This is a temporary solution till hibernate fix this bug

Thanks for your help.
