-### Eclipse Config 
-After importing the project into Eclipse, you may see the following error:  
-"No persistence xml file found in project"
-
-This can be ignored: 
-- Project -> Properties -> Java Persistance -> JPA -> Error/Warnings -> Select Ignore on "No persistence xml file found in project"
-Or: 
-- Eclipse -> Preferences - Validation - disable the "Build" execution of the JPA Validator
