Question

I use Maven, Tomcat Java EE and I want to add a dependency for this import :

import javax.persistence.Entity

I’ve tried these but they do not work:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
  <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

and this:

<dependency>
  <groupId>javax</groupId>
  <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
  <version>6.0</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Answer 1

Why you use JPA 1 with Java EE 6? Java EE 6 already contains JPA 2 and this javaee-api artifact provides that classes. It can not work, whatever you mean exactly by not working here. Get rid of this JPA 1 dependency and try again.
