What jar should I include to use javax.persistence package in a hibernate based application?

Question

Is it ok to take it from Glassfish project ( glassfish-persistence-api) or may be there is a Hibernate jar?

Answer 1

For JPA 2.1 the javax.persistence package can be found in here:

   org.hibernate.javax.persistence
   hibernate-jpa-2.1-api
   1.0.0.Final

See: hibernate-jpa-2.1-api on Maven Central The pattern seems to be to change the artefact name as the JPA version changes. If this continues new versions can be expected to arrive in Maven Central here: Hibernate JPA versions

The above JPA 2.1 APi can be used in conjunction with Hibernate 4.3.7, specifically:

   org.hibernate
   hibernate-entitymanager
   4.3.7.Final
