I will make the assumption, then, that in the GlassFish Application Development Guide, under the section titled, "Changing the Persistence Provider", this only works when you are using JPA in a "JEE-way".
I believe I tried option A yesterday (I tried lots of things yesterday), but I will try it again. If I can't get it to work that way, option B it is.

Following these directions and further conversations with Sahoo on this email list is what led to that snippet of code. It is first run during the bundle activator start method. It is also run anytime after when attempting to connect to a different database file.

Supposedly I just need to copy the Hibernate files and dependencies to the domain_dir/lib folder and then change the provider in the persistence.xml file as I have. But that is what is causing the exception.
