Hi,
OpenJPA enhances the bytecode of persistent entities to make them
transparently manageable -- serp is a bytecode manipulation library
extensively used by OpenJPA for this purpose.

If you download OpenJPA distribution from the website [1], all its
dependencies are available in ./lib/ directory.

You can also build openjpa jar from source code (it is open source project
after all) using maven -- which will download all its build-time
dependencies automatically and put it in your local machine. How to obtain
OpenJPA source code is documented in [2].
