Where do I put META-INF in Eclipse?

I'm using the Kundera tutorial at https://github.com/impetus-opensource/Kundera/wiki/Getting-Started-in-5-minutes. Eclipse does not find it when I create a folder META-INF at the project root and place persistence.xml in it.

I did a quick search and there was no real solution posted.

There is no valid reason why a simple file path should be difficult to configure. I'm looking for a simple answer to what should be a simple issue.

Basically it has to be in your classpath(under /META-INF/). You can manually enable it in eclipse by configuring properties. If your project is maven based, then it should be automatically picked from /src/main/resources/META-INF/ folder (provided entities are under the same hood).

It should be under src/main/resources directory,

The full path will be /src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml

After creating the META-INF folder under resources directory and having a persistence.xml file loads the entityMangerFactory bean properly,

<property name="persistenceXmlLocation" value="classpath:META-INF/persistence.xml" />

The above line reads the path correctly.

If you are using Eclipse, right-click on 'src' folder, choose 'Build Path', then 'Use as Source Folder'

It shouldn't be at the project root, but directly under the source folder.

At runtime, the persistence.xml file is searched in the classpath, under META-INF. So if you want the META-INF folder to be put at the top of the compiled package tree, you need to put it at the top of the source tree. Eclipse copies every non-Java file to its output directory (bin, by default), respecting the package/folder hierarchy.
