Rolf, Your "build" is also executing a main called App, which calls Bill. So, the enhancement processing that is being requested is due to the OpenJPA runtime, not the normal compile, build, and packaging phase.
For optimum performance, OpenJPA uses byte-code weaving, or enhancement, on the Entity classes. This process inserts some specific byte-codes into the Entity classes which help OpenJPA with processing of the Persistence Contexts and the associated Entities. The first message in your log indicates that you are not performing the enhancement process. Without this enhancement process, we fall back to an Entity sub-classing approach. Not only does this approach not perform very well, there are several known issues with this sub-classing. The main idea of sub-classing was to provide an initial, easy out-of-box experience for OpenJPA users. Unfortunately, due to some of the limitations of this approach, our users almost immediately hit a roadblock. Rick has provided a good write-up on Enhancement on our Persistence blog: http://webspherepersistence.blogspot.com/2009/02/openjpa-enhancement.html Hopefully this will give a bit more background. Take a read through this and then post back when you have more questions. Thanks for your interest in OpenJPA!
