LMP is supporting to add third party library for OL. Either

• adding a new section on this guide to talk about it but requires a good use case
• or update the JPA and/or Session guides to talk about copyDependencies in pom.xml

• In the sessions guide, add a new subsection after Configuring Hazelcast in the Configuring session persistence section to talk about this topic
• In the jpa guide, add a new section after Performing CRUD operations using JPA section to talk about this topic
