Unannotated entity attributes require a Transient annotation

org.openrewrite.java.migrate.javax.AddTransientAnnotationToEntity

In OpenJPA, attributes that are themselves entity classes are not persisted by default. EclipseLink has a different default behavior and tries to persist these attributes to the database. To keep the OpenJPA behavior of ignoring unannotated entity attributes, add the javax.persistence.Transient annotation to these attributes in EclipseLink.
