Erro! JPA!

Pessoal, ja tentei de tudo e nao estou conseguindo resolver este erro, fiz o mapeamento do meu banco utilizando JPA(anotacoes), configurei o arquivo persistence.xml, o mesmo esta na pasta META-INF, o ID dele e SGPPU, mas ao executar o comando Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(“SGPPU”); esta dando o seguinte erro:

Exception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0” java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.toplink.essentials.ejb.cmp3.EntityManagerFactoryProvider.createEntityManagerFactory(EntityManagerFactoryProvider.java:120)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:83)
at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:60)

Alguem sabe o q pode ser?

Pessoal segue meu codigo:
import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
import javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory;
import javax.persistence.Persistence;

/**
*

  • @author Diego
    */
    public class Main {

public static void main(String args[]) {
EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence
.createEntityManagerFactory(“SGPPU”);
EntityManager em = factory.createEntityManager();
JfLogin formLogin = new JfLogin(em);
formLogin.setVisible(true);
}

}

Esse e meu persistence
