Question

I use JPA, and Hibernate as its implementation. What maven2 dependencies I need to have in my project?

Answer 1

I believe the only two things you need are hibernate’s entitymanager and then one of the SLF4J logging bundles. Everything else should be pulled in as dependencies:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.1-Final</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-jdk14</artifactId>
        <!-- version 1.5.8 is the latest version that will work with the slf4j-api 
            that's currently bundled with hibernate-parent -->
        <version>1.5.8</version>
    </dependency>
