Class file not found in IntelliJ

Question

In IntelliJ I get this weird error when I try to compile.

Cannot find annotation method \'cascade()\' in type \'javax.persistence.ManyToOne\': class file for         


        

Answer 1

Here's an idea: Maybe you have multiple versions of your jar file. Search your folder hierarchy for the file ejb3-persistence.jar, using a file management tool such as Total Commander. Multiple appearances of the file in your classpath may confuse IntelliJ Idea into not recognizing the proper class in the proper jar.
