Using JPA and Hibernate with Maven
I have been fighting a bit to set up a Maven project with JPA and Hibernate as persistence provider.The final solution is very simple. But when you get on a wrong track at the beginning, you end up in a terrible maze...
So here the most important hint:
The JBoss repository (http://repository.jboss.org/maven2/) is quite a mess.
In the root of the repository you find directories (matching Maven GroupIds) for
hibernate , hibernate-annotations and hibernate-entitymanager.
Do not use them!
They are outdated, do not provide current versions and most annoying do not declare their dependencies... so your pom will get a mess.
All dependencies should use the GroupId
org.hibernate (browse into the org directory in the Maven repository).
So here is my working pom.xml:
