Description

When doing
feature:install jpa hibernate
in karf 4.1.0 Aries JPA does not recognize the hibernate PersistenceProvider service as Aries JPA binds to the jpa spec 2.0 and hibernate binds to the jpa spec 2.1.

The reason for this is that Aries JPA requires the org.osgi.service.jpa package which is only provided by the geronimo jpa spec bundle.

The solution to this is to embed the JPA spec into jpa.container.
I also tried to use the OSGi JPA spec bundle but it is not compatbile to JPA 2.1 spec.
