It turns out that the JPA API we've been building against (the one from https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/repository/ javax.persistence/jars/persistence-api-1.0.jar) is not actually the final version of the spec: there are some minor (and binary- compatible) changes (some annotations don't have runtime retention, for example), but they are enough to prevent us from passing all the compatibility tests we need.
The Geronimo API jar (http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/ org/apache/geronimo/specs/geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec/geronimo- jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar) is compliant, as far as I can tell.
How do people feel about changing the dependency from persistence- api-1.0.jar to geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar? I've run through all our tests, and they pass with the Geronimo version. This would have the added advantage of unifying our spec jars to all be using the Geronimo versions.
