Answer 1

Click Here to download hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar and put it into the project library, your application will work fine. Good luck:)

I had the same problem and I solved it by changing the dependencies to the following :

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.1</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa</artifactId>
        <version>2.7.3</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
        <version>7.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

Just incase you stumble upon this. Another problem could be you have a project importing another project the parent project is the one who is supposed to hold all the libraries.

Answer 4

在您的pom.xml您需要为JPA库添加依赖项。

Answer 5

for maven quickstart artifacts:-

This problems generally occures when there is no hibernate-jpa-2.0-api jar in classpath so first add this jar in your classpath. if still you are getting excption then go to C:\\Users\\(system user name)\\.m2\\repository\\org\\hibernate; delete folder javax. after that again download jars from pom.xml it will work.

for webapp:--

first make sure hibernate-jpa-2.0-api jar downloaded and it is available in your build path. after that right click on project-->Build Path--->configure build path--->deployment Assembly--->Add--->java build path entries--->select the available jar(hibernate-jpa-2.0-api)--->next--->finish.
