Hi, By digging at hibernate source code it seems like the plugin was reexecuting configuration again (hibernate format) because of the node: <configurationfile>src/test/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml</configurationfile>
so to anyone hitting this problem, dont use <configurationfile> if you are mapping with JPA (even if hibernate is the JPA provider).
