No Persistence provider for EntityManager in RCP Pulgin Project - jpa

Question

I am getting a
No Persistence provider for EntityManager for named X
in an RCP Plugin application I am working on. I have used hibernate as ORM and javax.persistence. I am using Derby for my database. I have grouped all the hibernate Jar and supporting jars into a plugin and added to the current project i am woking on. I am at my wits end. Any help would be appreciated. i have as of now looked at different places for answers but not found any.
I have placed the Persistence.xml file in the classpath under/META-INF/persistence.xml. I have tried placing the persistence.xml at these location - /RCMSecond/src/persistence.xml and /RCMSecond/src/META-INF/persistence.xml and /RCMSecond/META-INF/persistence.xml still the RCP project is throwing the same error stacktrace.

I have tried placing the persistence.xml at these location - /RCMSecond/src/persistence.xml** and **/RCMSecond/src/META-INF/persistence.xml still the RCP project is throwing the same error stacktrace.

Answer 1

https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/persistence-intro003.htm
The JAR file or directory whose META-INF directory contains
persistence.xml is called the root of the persistence unit. The scope
of the persistence unit is determined by the persistence unit's root.
Persistent units can be packaged as part of a WAR or EJB JAR file or
can be packaged as a JAR file that can then be included in an WAR or
EAR file.
• If you package the persistent unit as a set of classes in an EJB JAR
file, persistence.xml should be put in the EJB JAR's META-INF directory.
• If you package the persistence unit as a set of classes in a WAR file,
persistence.xml should be located in the WAR file's
WEB-INF/classes/META-INF directory.
• If you package the persistence unit in a JAR file that will be
included in a WAR or EAR file, the JAR file should be located in either
- the WEB-INF/lib directory of a WAR Or
- the EAR file's library directory
Check configuration. Your Eclipse should be able to map resource files and build all packages. check Project->Properties->Build Path in order to configure project dependencies.
offtopic tips:
You are trying to obtain the EntityManager by injection:
#PersistenceContext
protected EntityManager entityManager
Then to obtain the EntityManager from the EntityManagerFactory instance:
EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("RCMSecond");
this.entityManager = factory.createEntityManager();
