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

In intelliJ I got this problem when I built (ctrl+shift+F9) at the file level.

The reason is, I had changes in other files in the same maven project, that were not getting picked.

I solved it by building at the project level (Select the Maven project in intellij and press ctrl+shift+F9)
