[eclipse] JPA With Hibernate Error: [PersistenceUnit: JPA] Unable to build EntityManagerFactory

I have a problem with Java Persistence API and Hibernate. My situation of project is:

My persistence.xml file is:

<persistence 
    xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd"
    version="2.0">
    <persistence-unit name="JPA">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <class>com.david.Libro</class>
        <class>com.david.Categoria</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.transactionType" value="RESOURCE_LOCAL" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/arquitecturaJava" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root" />
            <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="root" />
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

And i create EntityManagerFactory in:

private static EntityManagerFactory buildEntityManagerFactory() 
    {
        try 
        {
            return Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("JPA");
        } 
        catch (Throwable ex) 
        {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
            //throw new RuntimeException("Error al crear la factoria de JPA:->"+ ex.getMessage());
        }
    }

My error is about create EntityManagerFactory:

Part of Libro and Categoria classes code is:

@Entity
@Table(name = "Categorias")
public class Categoria implements Serializable
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Id
    @JoinColumn(name = "categoria") 
    private String id;
    private String descripcion;

....

and

@Entity
@Table(name="Libros")
public class Libro implements Serializable
{
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    
    @Id
    private String isbn;
    private String titulo;
    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn (name="categoria")
    private Categoria categoria;

....

My file of Hibernate Configuration is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

        <mapping class="com.david.Libro"></mapping>
        
    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Any ideas!! Thank´s!!

Suppress the @JoinColumn(name="categoria") on the ID field of the Categoria class and I think it will work.

Use above annotation if someone is facing :--org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider persistence provider when it attempted to create the container entity manager factory for the paymentenginePU persistence unit. The following error occurred: [PersistenceUnit: paymentenginePU] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory ** This is a solution if you are using Audit table.@Audit

Use:- @Audited(targetAuditMode = RelationTargetAuditMode.NOT_AUDITED) on superclass.

It worked for me after adding the following dependency in pom,

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
 <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
 <version>4.3.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
