There are a couple of tricks to get Dali working with Maven. The first
is that it needs to be a WTP project (actually faceted). For this you
need to set <wtpversion> [1]. Then you need to add the jpt.jpa facet.
You can do this manually or with <additionalProjectFacets>. In the later
case you'll probably also need some configuration files, see
<additionalConfig>.
