Solution 1

The dependency you're looking for is the following I think (Perhaps a different version)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-ehcache</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

I searched for the missing class using Maven Central's search site:

http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|fc%3A%22org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider%22

Solution 2

When I ran into this problem, it was because I was trying to update the version of hibernate. When moving from hibernate 3.2 to 3.3, the packages split. I had tried to replace hibernate with hibernate-core. Reverting back to the full hibernate package (at 3.2 level) fixed my problem.

During my next round of updates, I will probably need to replace the full hibernate package with hibernate-core and hibernate-ehcache as referenced above.
