Spring 3.0.2 + JPA 2.0 + Hibernate 3.5.0

[solarch]

I am not sure if this is a JPA persistence configuration problem or, a STS IDE problem or, a simple classpath problem, so I will start here with my first guess.

I hope someone can see my error here as I've spent several days trying uncountable different combos.

Environment:
IDE: STS v2.3.3.M1
JDK: 1.6.0_16
GWT: SDK 2.0.3

Problem: The debug output below is generated after I use GWT compiler (everything compiles fine) and then Run As Google Web Application.

The only other error I get during development on this project is a dialog pops up occasionally that states,

'Updating /liquidlogic-gwt/war/WEB-INF/lib with jars
 from  \liquidlogic-gwt\war - unknown version' has encountered a problem.  

SDK directory 'M:\liquidlogic-gwt\war' does not exist

I have looked throughout the IDE preferences and my config files and cannot find a setting for changing this. The correct physical path should be:

M:\workspace\liquidlogic-gwt\war

(I left off some of the debug output to make it easier to read):

I'm neither using Spring nor MySQL or Hibernate. I only ran into the problem posted here.
