Not that I'm aware, the thing that get closest is maybe Dali JPA which has
as JPA View where you can click to make something an entity.

I'm not sure it does anything else than add @Entity to the class.

Having a "Make this class and its related classes mapped via JPA" would be 
an interesting Refactoring to implement.

Should basically just work like this:

makePersistent(ITypeRoot clazz, Set processed) {
  add @Entity 
  Find most likely id property and add @Id  

 processed.add(selectedClass);
 associations = getAssociatedClasses(selectedClass);

 foreach class in associations {
  if(!processed.contains(class)) {
       makePersistent(class, processed);     
  }  
}
}

There then might be some exceptional cases like handling version properties, temporal values and
non-JPA supported mappings which Hibernate would be able to understand/map.
