Java standalone app with JPA + Hibernate (or similar) and Apache Derby embedded DB

Question

I want to create a Java standalone Java application that will use the Apache Derby Embedded DB.

I want to use JPA since I'm quite familiar with it and probably over Hibernate ( but others are welcome if it is to get easier).

Is there any example that uses JPA over Hibernate over a Derby embedded db? I was searching around but I can't find any useful example code. I would like something like a tutorial that will tell which libs I need to add in my classpath, which are the essential files and what I need to do.

What's wrong with the official quickstart: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/getstart/ — Dominik Sandjaja, Oct 02 '12 at 09:57
@DaDaDom The official quickstart does not contain anything about JPA or Hibernate. I have already checked it :) — Panos, Oct 02 '12 at 10:06
Well, you stated that you already knew JPA, so I thought that you only needed the Derby-side of things. It can be used like any other database within JPA/Hibernate. — Dominik Sandjaja, Oct 02 '12 at 10:08

If you are using Maven for your build, you can use the derby-maven-plugin, which I wrote and is available on GitHub and via Maven Central. It will take care of starting and stopping the database for you before your tests.

You can check:
