You can add Java™ Persistence
API (JPA) support to a faceted project by adding the Java Persistence project facet.
Before you begin
You can only add the JPA project facet to faceted projects
- projects that use the faceted project framework for adding functionality.
Examples of faceted projects are web projects and an EJB projects.
A project facet is a specific unit of functionality that you can add
to a project when that functionality is required. When a project facet
is added to a project, it can add natures, builders, classpath entries,
and resources to a project, depending on the characteristics of the
particular project.
