error

java: package javax.persistence does not exist

How to fix?

Answer 1

In my case this was caused by old version of hibernate-jcache. Fixed by updating to the newest one:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-jcache</artifactId>
    <version>6.2.2.Final</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

I just went through this hell myself for at least 6 hours. The real answer is described in the Spring Boot migration guide's section where they point us to base Spring's replacement of javax with jakarta.

Basically all you have to do is a Ctrl+Shift+F replacement of (almost) anywhere you previously had javax and swap it with jakarta. If you're like me, for some reason my IDE didn't autocomplete or recognize it until I manually typed it in, so don't let your IDE fool you if it does the same thing. FWIW, this conclusion has been supported by others as well, but it's just super unclear from the author's docs that this simple of a change is all we needed to do.

I hope this helps you to not waste half your day like it did me xD

Answer 3

Just delete the jakarta dependency. Since it has its full content in the ultimate version of Intellij Idea. In your case, this one:

<dependency>
        <groupId>jakarta.xml.bind</groupId>
        <artifactId>jakarta.xml.bind-api</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

And add these dependencies:

<dependency>
        <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.persistence-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.2</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.transaction</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.transaction-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
    </dependency>

Answer 4

There is no need to add hibernate-entitymanager artifact as dependency in pom.xml.

spring-boot-starter-data-jpa artifact is enough. You shoud just consider the following points.

Replace Java EE 8 With Jakarta EE 9 APIs:

Spring Boot 3.0 will be the first version of Spring Boot that makes use of Jakarta EE 9 APIs (jakarta.) instead of EE 8 (javax.). This entails that we will have to look for EE 8 imports with javax.* and replace them with jakarta.*. Typical EE 8 packages used in Spring Boot microservices include the following:

• javax.persistence.*

• javax.validation.*

• javax.servlet.*

• javax.annotation.*

• javax.transaction.*

• etc.

Be aware that packages such as javax.sql.* and javax.crypto.* come from Java 17 JDK, not from EE 8, so they are safe to stay.

Answer 5

Change "JPA API from Java EE" --> "JPA API from Jakarta EE", and add

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-entitymanager -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    <version>6.0.0.Alpha7</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>
