I thought I needed to add the class names to persistence.xml to have thempost-processed.What do you mean by "post-processed". There's no notion of "post-processing" in JPA.
Post processing is a common term used to describe anything done to a .class file after being generated by the compiler. And there certainly is the notion of post processing class files in JPA.
In a container, the JPA provider is given the chance to post process entities by an explicit callback. See section 7.1.
Outside the container, JPA providers typically use the java agent technology to perform post processing on the classes.
Some JPA providers have a static post processor that allows you to deploy applications without using agents or transformers at runtime. OpenJPA's processor is the PCEnhancer.
