[eclipselink-dev] minor changes to PersistenceProvider to support custom

[Mike Norman <michael.norman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As part of the work for 200045, I have been working to get some JPA-style Dynamic Persistence tests added to
eclipselink.jpa.test. However, Dynamic Persistence doesn't support weaving, orm.xml files, temp classloaders and
a bunch of other JPA-specific details. I have opened a bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=292152
to track some changes so that a custom PersistenceInitializationHelper can be installed on a PersistenceProvider
(this will also allow resources to be loaded from locations other than META-INF/persistence.xml - rather useful for testing).

I went over the changes with Tom Ware and am now sending this out to the dev community for comments - the patch
is attach'd to the above bug.

Thanks in advance,
