NoSuchMethodError in javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index

Question

I have a Play Framework application and I was using Hibernate 4.2.5.Final (which is retrieved via the Maven dependency manager). I decided to upgrade to Hibernate

Answer 1

Hibernate 4.3 is the first version to implement the JPA 2.1 spec (part of Java EE 7). And it's thus expecting the JPA 2.1 library in the classpath, not the JPA 2.0 library. That's why you get this exception: Table.indexes() is a new attribute of Table, introduced in JPA 2.1
