JPA 2.1/Hibernate 4.3 deprecation warning

Question

I\'m using JPA 2.1 sample application with Hibernate 4.3.x implementation.

WARN: HHH015016: Encountered a deprecated javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]; use [org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider] instead.

We can see the path to obtain a class compatible with javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory from the HibernatePersistenceProvider javadocs. First you need an instance of the HibernatePersistenceProvider, then the createEntityManagerFactory method is called. Here is the Spring Bean wiring which avoids the deprecation warning:

There is a Stackoverflow thread here showing the maven dependencies.
