Upgrading from JPA 2.1 to JPA 2.2

Question

I'm having issues upgrading to JPA 2.2. I'm using eclipselink and changed the version in my pom:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>

I also updated the persistence.xml to point to the correct version of the xsd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
    http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_2.xsd"
    version="2.2">
<persistence-unit name="foo" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
    <class>my.entity</class>
    <properties>
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:foo/data;create=true" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="user" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="pwd" />

        <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-or-extend-tables" />
        <property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="database" />
    </properties>

</persistence-unit>
</persistence>

The issue is that I'm getting the following error message:

The persistence.xml file does not have supported content for this JPA platform.

I've looked through the eclipselink documentation and nothing is jumping out at me.

Any ideas?

Looks like an Eclipse issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=522302 — Leon Dendle, Oct 06 '17 at 12:58
As far as I'm aware, you don't need to change the persistence.xml at all, only the libraries on the classpath. — Chris, Oct 06 '17 at 17:25

I ran into the same error message after upgrading from JPA 2.0 to 2.1; I got rid of it by also upgrading the JPA Platform in the Eclipse Project JPA settings to EclipseLink 2.5.x.
