José, The plugin doc says you can have a comma-delimited list of classes, however, since enhancement on collection classes doesn't seem to work anyway - per your suggestion, I removed "java.util.ArrayList" and re-ran the "mvn openjpa:enhance" command.
The result, as ever, is still: 771 openjpa INFO [main] openjpa.Enhance - Creating subclass and redefining methods for "[class java.util.ArrayList]". This means that your application will be less efficient than it would if you ran the OpenJPA enhancer. Exception in thread "main" <openjpa-2.2.0-r422266:1244990 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: No registered metadata for type "class java.util.ArrayList". This can happen if this class has not been annotated as a persistent entity or specified in the persistence unit (ex: in the orm.xml). I wonder if anyone knows of a working example of many-to-many ORM using OpenJPA?
