Hi, Just to close on this discussion... Krishnaprasad and I were discussing this issue offline. He eventually debugged the issue and tracked it down to some errant orm.xml files. Since an NPE is still not good regardless of how he got to this situation, I have created a JIRA to track the issue:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2331 Krishnaprasad, if you can append any additional details, they would be appreciated.
