Unit Testing JPA code requires annotated classes to be ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use the Powermockrunner and prepare a static class for test

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect the test to pass, but I get a PropertyAccessException from hibernate 
because its trying to set the wrong types to the properties.

Workaround:
Add the package(s) where the JPA entites are located to the @PowerMockIgnore 
annotation.

I don't think the above should be necessary but it is and I couldn't find this 
documented anywhere. I also had to ignore the persistence packages although the 
FAQ says this isn't neccessary after version 1.3

Please provide any additional information below.

Test Case

@RunWith(PowerMockRunner.class)
@PrepareForTest(DaoLoader.class)
@PowerMockIgnore({"javax.persistence.*"})
public class UserParserTest {

    private static EntityManagerFactory emf;
    private EntityManager em;

    @BeforeClass
    public static void initializeEMF(){
        emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("snowmore");
    }

    @AfterClass
    public static void closeEntityManagerFactory() {
        emf.close();
    }

    @Before
    public void setUp() throws Exception {
        em = emf.createEntityManager();
        em.getTransaction().begin();

        //This is all to get the em into the dao without PersistenceContext
        dao = new UserDao(em);
        PowerMock.mockStatic(DaoLoader.class);

        PowerMock.replay(DaoLoader.class);
    }

    @After
    public void rollbackTransaction() {
        if (em.getTransaction().isActive()) {
            em.getTransaction().rollback();
        }

        if (em.isOpen()) {
            em.close();
        }

        PowerMock.verify(DaoLoader.class);
    }

    @Test
    public void testPersist() throws Exception {
        User firstOccurence = new User();
        firstOccurence.setUsername("test_user");
        em.persist(firstOccurence);
        em.flush();
    }
}

Entity

@Entity
@Table(name = "REPORTER")
public class User{

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "REPORTER_ID", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "REPORTER_USERNAME", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String username;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username){
        this.username = username;
    }
}
