Dead stuff.

Seriously, the JPA hadn't been actively worked on (AFAICT) for 4 years. 
  I think it was pretty bug ridden.  I think it was standard Java plus a 
library (.jar) you had to distribute.  I don't think NetBeans did that 
part (the library) for you.  JNLP and friends are kinda on you, not the IDE.
