Im trying to follow the example in chapter 2 of the book Beginning Java EE 6 Platform with GlassFish 3. I am using EclipseLink, Derby and Maven from cmd in Windows. I really can't figure this out and would be grateful for some help!
This line EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("chapter02PU");
in my Main.java class generates the following error:

I'm not sure what the problem was but I got it to work when I updated the code according to this link. https://github.com/agoncal/agoncal-book-javaee6
The code in the link above seems to be more update-to-date than the code in this link, which I had been looking at before. http://kenai.com/projects/beginningee6/
You specified a
provided
scope on your persistence libraries.That basically tells Maven that 'for purposes of compiling, use these libraries, but don't include them in my final artifact because they will eventually be provided by some other means'. I'm sure the tutorial you are following defined them this way because it is expected that you will be deploying your code to an application server to be executed. In such a scenario, those libraries are indeed provided.
But, in this case, you are running a standalone Java application, and you need to include those libraries explicitly. The simplest fix would be to change the scope, for
org.eclipse.persistence:javax.persistence
andorg.eclipse.persistence:eclipselink
fromprovided
toruntime
. But only if you never intend to deploy your examples to an application server. A better option would be to define a profile for running standalone code:Which would be activated by executing Maven with a profile option:
I also run to your problem,but I solve it. I change my jars the problem is gone away,maybe the jars are not compatible with each other.
