Disclosure: I am a netbeans engineer working on java ee 5 support. I
know this is a GF alias and I should not be advertising netbeans. But
since you ask for how to make it easier for the user this is the
simplest way I know. Anyone is welcome to suggest other ways.
If you use netbeans it will help you to create the persistence unit in
the correct format. Depending on the type of application: j2se, web 2.4
(tomcat, jboss, app server 8.x), web 2.5 (glassfish) or ejb 3.0
(glassfish, jboss) it will guide you to select either a data source or
jdbc connection. For jdbc it knows how to setup vendor specific
connection properties for toplink, hibernate and kodo.
