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

had a similar problem ("cannot find class spring...DefaultResourceLoader even though it was in my maven dependencies) and no amount of tweaking of revalidating caches seemed to help. Blowing away my $HOME/.Idea* paths and (basically) starting from scratch fixed it for me. At least for now...
