Vince - Take a look at the encryption provider[1]. You wouldn't be using it as intended, but it think it could do the trick.
You'll need to implement the org.apache.openjpa.lib.encryption.EncryptionProvider interface and whenever .decrypt(...) is called, go find your properties file and return the password String value. Let us know how it goes.
