Hibernate JPA 2.1 dependency

Question

I am getting 2 jars for Hibernate JPA:

• hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar
• hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.1.Final.jar

What should I do to fix this? I just want:

hibernate-jpa-2.1-api-1.0.1.Final.jar

I have the below in POM :

<!-- Hibernate -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
</dependency>

Solution 1

hibernate-core dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  <version>4.3.9.Final</version>
</dependency>

includes:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate.javax.persistence</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-jpa-2.1-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.0.Final</version>
  <scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>

Solution 2

You need to run mvn dependency:tree and find which dependency is bringing you the hibernate-jpa-2.0-api-1.0.1.Final.jar artifact.

Afterward, you need to exclude this transitive dependency.
