populate database with import.sql file and hibernate

[MiB]

I have put an import.sql file — exported from my MySQL DB — in the root of my project and have these settings in Persistence.xml

<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create"/>

. I have also tried the META-INF directory.

What else do I have to do in order to populate my DB before I run my integration tests as well as on deploy? As it is now nothing seems to happen and my DB is empty. I can import the file by hand, but I need this done automatically.
