No Persistence provider for EntityManager named (Hibernate)

Question

I'm trying to run a sample JPA based project. I get the error from the title all the time.

I looked here: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named

but found no working solution there.

Here is my pom.xml:

</project>

It's possible that I have some dependencies that I don't need. As I'm inexperienced I must honestly admit, I was quite desperate and looked for any possible answer, and during that process I added some dependencies that may not be used at all.

Here is the class supposed to make the EntityManager

package ~path.examples.service;

import ~path.examples.testjpa.domain.Person;

import javax.persistence.*;

/**
 * Created by ME on 2015-04-22.
 */
public class JpaTest {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("jpaTest");
        EntityManager em = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
        EntityTransaction userTransaction = em.getTransaction();

        userTransaction.begin();
        Person person = new Person();
        person.setFirstName("Charles");
        person.setSurname("Dickens");
        em.persist(person);
        userTransaction.commit();
        em.close();
        entityManagerFactory.close();
    }
}

Also:

Im pretty sure that all the files are in the appropriate locations, I also had some problems with me, but I seem to have eliminated that problem (other errors pop out than before) :)
It's probably something obvious that I'm missing, thanks in advance for any help!

edit: It's very likely that the problem lies in persistance.xml file, so here it is (thanks for pointing it out). The location of the file is src/main/resources/META-INF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"
             xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
    <persistence-unit name="JpaTest" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
        <class>~path.examples.testjpa.domain.Person</class>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true" />
            <property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true" />
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect" />
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
        </properties>

    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

And assuming yes: WHERE is it? "i'm pretty sure" is not a reason to hide the details as the option that you made a mistake is still very much there. You say so yourself. — Gimby, Apr 23 '15 at 09:56
Yes, of course I have it, and I intended to post it. Edited, thanks for pointing out, simply forgot :) By the way, the location is correct almost for sure (I must admit I experimented a little, and in any other location it wouldn't even be detected) but it's very likely that there is a mistake inside the file, that I dont see. — Jan Ossowski, Apr 23 '15 at 10:27

Maybe you didn't add Hibernate jars to the project classpath? Missing provider jars (in this case Hibernate) will not show you compile errors, as they are required during the runtime.

I am using maven, and I added the dependencies. Right now I just confirmed that all the jars are in its place. – Jan Ossowski Apr 23 '15 at 13:05

You need to change:

<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>

to:

<provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>

I'm sorry to say that, but apparently You are wrong. I just eliminated the error by changing to ((obviously simple spelling mistake)) which eliminated the previous error, but made a new error "The application must supply JDBC connections" in line userTransaction.begin(); When I tried doing what You said, it took me a step back to the previous error :) thanks for trying though, i will now appreciate help with the new one – Jan Ossowski Apr 23 '15 at 10:56
Is it? [How about this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22691252/error-deprecated-persistenceprovider-use-hibernatepersistenceprovider-instead)? – Vlad Mihalcea Apr 23 '15 at 10:57
I am far from trying to depreciate Your help, as it is very welcome, and obviously You know much more about the topic than I do. I'm just saying what happens. Doing what You suggested takes me a step back, to the error that I just eliminated by correcting the spelling mistake. – Jan Ossowski Apr 23 '15 at 11:19
The old class is deprecated and it could be removed in a future version. I'll keep the answer as it might help somebody else. – Vlad Mihalcea Apr 23 '15 at 11:25
Since I'm getting a new error, should I make a new topic, or just wait for a new answer here? – Jan Ossowski Apr 23 '15 at 11:46
I think you should provide an answer to this question and accept it, and ask a new question for whatever 's left. – Vlad Mihalcea Apr 23 '15 at 11:53
