what the heck is a JPA configuration?

Question

I'm going nuts trying to get a simple Envers example to work. I'm stuck on the org.hibernate.tool.ant.EnversHibernateToolTask — it looks like I finally got all the jar files I needed, but now I get the error message

[hibernatetool] Persistence unit not found: 'ConsolePU'.

BUILD FAILED
C:\deka\proj\java\test-database\build.xml:61: Persistence unit not found: 'ConsolePU'.

As far as I can tell, persistence units are associated with JPA persistence.xml files. But I'm not using a persistence.xml file; I'm using hibernate.cfg.xml — but the envers example has a <jpaconfiguration> in the ant task:

<hibernatetool destdir=".">
        <classpath>
             <fileset dir="src/">
                  <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
            </fileset>

            <path location="${buildDir}" />
        </classpath>
    <jpaconfiguration persistenceunit="ConsolePU" />
    <hbm2ddl
        drop="false"
        create="true"
        export="false"
        outputfilename="versioning-ddl.sql"
        delimiter=";"
        format="true"/>
    </hibernatetool>

is there something that I can replace it with to get it to work with the hibernate.cfg.xml file? There seems to be ZERO documentation on how to get all this stuff to work properly.

edit: OK, so the main problem was I didn't understand the hibernatetool options and what was appropriate for my app. I did find the Hibernate ant docs, fortunately. Thanks. Now I have a new problem: I'm using annotations, but I also have set up a hibernate.cfg.xml for the properties settings. The hibernatetool task only lets me run either <configuration /> or <annotationconfiguration /> not both, and even <configuration /> won't work since I already have annotations doing things. How can I migrate my property settings from the hibernate.cfg.xml file to my annotations?

edit: Duh, I didn't realize you just do:

<annotationconfiguration configurationfile="...filename..." />

per the hibernatetool task docs.

Replace the <jpaconfiguration /> with the <configuration /> tag, as detailed in Hibernate Tools docs:

<configuration
    configurationfile="hibernate.cfg.xml"
    propertyfile="hibernate.properties"
    entityresolver="EntityResolver classname"
    namingstrategy="NamingStrategy classname">
