Where else to put it? As I see it, it has the same value as other jee metadata tests. I want to move away from Hibernate passing me the metadata, e.g. I can use some other EntityManager impl. And then use the right deployers: simplifying parsing, component deployer (PersistenceMD --> PersistenceUnitMDs) and real (PUMD --> BeanMetaData).
