I know the feeling. Here's an example persistence.xml file in case it
helps. It has both the non-JTA and JTA flavors in it for comparison. I
used NB to create both of these. Since the entities aren't explicitly
listed, all entities in the app will be included.

That was quite the random workaround -- maybe it was specific to
whatever version I was using. At least they know about it now. :)
If you need a full example of creating the database connection pool,
jndi resource, and then how to connect it to your persistence.xml
file, let me know. I just happen to have some screenshots on my
desktop that I have as reminders.
