Estou criando um aplicativo simples para inserir uma linha em uma tabela (se a tabela não existir, crie-a) usandoJava JPA.

Estou anexando algum código para um exemplo executável.

Aqui está a exceção que estou recebendo e o stacktrace:

EXCEPTION -- > org.hibernate.PersistentObjectException: detached entity passed to persist: view.Person

    ... 1 more

E aqui está o meu código:

Classe principal:

package view;

import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.EntityTransaction;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;

public class TestJPA {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Person p = new Person(1, "Peter", "Parker");

        EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("TesePersistentUnit");
        EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();

        EntityTransaction transaction = entityManager.getTransaction();
        try {
            transaction.begin();

            entityManager.persist(p);
            entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
        } 
        catch (Exception e) {
            if (transaction != null) {
                transaction.rollback();
            }
            System.out.println("EXCEPTION -- > " + e.getMessage());
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
        finally {
            if (entityManager != null) {
                entityManager.close();
            }
        }
    }
}

E a classe Person:

package view;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name = "People")
public class Person {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    private int id;

    private String name;
    private String lastName;

    public Person(int id, String name, String lastName) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public Person() {
    }
}

E aqui está o meu arquivo persistence.xml

----------------------- EDIT -------------------------- -

Acabei de alterar o provedor para EclipseLink e sem mais alterações ele está funcionando. Estou confuso agora. Por que funciona com o EclipseLink, mas com o Hibernate, gera uma exceção?
