>From my experience, the META-INF/orm.xml is indeed the way to do it: it can override any annotation in the code. Problem is they have to put it in the drools/jbpm-persistence-jpa.jar file AFAIK, so that's a PITA when upgrading to a new drools/jbpm version.

You might not want to use "xml-mapping-metadata-complete", as you don't want to disable all annotations in code. For example, disabling @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP) and requiring them to rewrite it, is unnecessary duplication (and prone to bugs, especially when it changes in a new version).
If all they want to do is change the table names (not the column names), it could be just a list of @Table(tableName) overrides in the orm.xml file.
