Description

The "New Persistence Unit" dialog requires you to specify the JPA provider and the connection URL. Selecting the library adds the dependency to your pom.

Both options should be optional, at least when the application is configured to run on a Java EE server, where a JPA implementation and a default library are always provided.

A new option "Use server default" would be good.
