Hibernate Tools and Java Persistence API?

I missed using Hibernate's table generation tools. Currently am working on a web application and wanted to try learning to use the Java Persistence API . I am using netbeans 5.5 beta as my IDE and as of now, the table generation from entity classes can only be used when using the Sun Application server and using JSF as the web framework. As a temporary solution, I used the JSF/JPA/DDL generation and switched to running Spring MVC+JPA on the same project.
