JPA + Google App Engineの使用：CLASSPATHにMETA-INF /persistence.xmlファイルが見つかりませんでした

Google AppEngineは初めてです。過去3日間、プロジェクトでエラーが発生しました。

Google AppEngineプロジェクトでJPA2.0をセットアップしました。クライアントはAndroidアプリケーションです。エンティティを挿入しようとすると、Google AppEngineログに次の警告/エラーが表示されます。また、エンティティを挿入できません。

CLASSPATHにpersistence.xmlファイルを配置しました。また、プロジェクトのJPA構成で「注釈付きクラスを自動的に検出する」オプションを使用しています。ここに関連するコードを入力するのを忘れた場合はお知らせください。

更新：エンドポイントとpersistence.xml、EMFはプラグインによって生成されました。しかし、JPAを設定すると、これらのエラーが発生し、これを解決する方法がわかりません。
