You're right, it's not necessary. But I never said it is ;-) EntPack has a lot
of nice wizards that help you define all kinds of JEE classes, including a nice
wizard for creating Entities. It also has good integration with Glassfish which
is a big aid in deploying JEE applications. On the other hand, you can just
create a POJO and put the correct annotations in it to create an Entity, can
setup your own persitsnece.xml and deploy to Glassfish by hand. Your choice.
