Add full exception text. Why you have dependecies on javax.persistence of two different versions? — user2418306, Oct 12 '14 at 21:40
Full text added, also, debugging to solve the error but no avail. — Jacob Clark, Oct 12 '14 at 21:44
why have you got JPA API 1.0.2 (javax.persistence persistence-api) and JPA API 2.1.0 (org.eclipse.persistence javax.persistence) in the CLASSPATH at the same time? Make your mind which version of JPA is being used — Neil Stockton, Oct 13 '14 at 08:46
Yes, as I previously stated, I was debugging, however your criticism hardly solves my issue. — Jacob Clark, Oct 13 '14 at 18:27

It's because of you don't have eclipselink dependency in your pom.xml. Also You don't need

<dependency> <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId> <version>1.0.2</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId> <version>2.1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId> <artifactId>org.eclipse.persistence.jpa</artifactId> <version>2.6.0-M3</version> </dependency>

just

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.2</version>
</dependency>

is enough (version may change)
