Is persistence version 2.1 supported?

Using the current version of persistence.xml leads to an error:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!--<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

but reverting to version 1.0 makes the error go away.





Thank you for this report. Support of JPA 2.1 format for persistence.xml was added in build 2.5.7_05.

The url to java.sun.com doesn't exist, so the correct header is:

<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
  http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd"
  version="2.1">

Excellent, many thanks !
