NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/annotations/common/reflection/MetadataProvider

Question

I have the dependency defined in my pom.xml

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-commons-annot         


        

Answer 1

Apparently 3.3.0.ga was a 'mistake', had to update dependency to use 3.2.0.Final

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations</artifactId>
        <version>3.2.0.Final</version>
    </dependency>
