Persistence Specification 6.2.1.6: "One or more JAR files may be specified using the jar-file elements instead of, or in addition to the mapping files specified in the mapping-file elements. If specified, these JAR files will be searched for managed persistence classes, and any mapping metadata annotations found on them will be pro- cessed, or they will be mapped using the mapping annotation defaults defined by this specification.
