Try to rewrite your persistence.xml and make sure your META-INF folder was actually created in the bin, here’s a Persistence.xml skeleton, configure according to your needs
<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="contas">
<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
<class>br.com.alura.jpa.modelo.Conta</class>
<class>br.com.alura.jpa.modelo.Movimentacao</class>
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.driver" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/alura_jpa" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.user" value="root" />
<property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.password" value="caminha123" />
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect" />
<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
It is also worth checking the settings of pom.xml, if they are in accordance with the settings of your drivers, here goes another skeleton of pom.xml
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

if you have questions about the driver settings of your database go to: https://mvnrepository.com/
if it still doesn’t work, try to put the meta-inf folder in a path like this
/src/main/Resources/META-INF
