> How are you adding these jars to your runtime classpath? Maven downloads them from the central repository as soon as I run maven. I did not add any external repositories, I'm using the default one.
Why do I assume, that everything is included into the classpath? I've also included itext, junit and javadoc via pom.xml and these work flawlessly without any changes. My ".classpath" looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <classpath> <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" path="src/main/java"/> <classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src" output="target/classes" path="src/main/resources"/> <classpathentry kind="src" output="target/test-classes" path="src/test/java"/> <classpathentry excluding="**" kind="src" output="target/test-classes" path="src/test/resources"/> <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/> <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.maven.ide.eclipse.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER"/> <classpathentry kind="output" path="target/classes"/> </classpath> Perhaps this helps to figure out why javax.persistence doesn't work on my project...
