Depending on your PostgreSQL version you would need to add the postgresql driver to your pom.xml file.

For PostgreSQL 9.1 this would be:

    Your project name.
    
        
            postgresql
            postgresql
            9.1-901-1.jdbc4
        
    

You can get the code for the dependency (as well as any other dependency) from maven's central repository

If you are using postgresql 9.2+:

    Your project name.
    
        
            org.postgresql
            postgresql
            42.2.1
        
    

You can check the latest versions and dependency snippets from:
