Cannot execute mvn spring boot aplication. Error with entity manager and interface jakarta.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider

Question

I am trying to run a spring boot project using maven with a MySQL database but I am getting the following error:

Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the condition evaluation report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

This is my application.properties where I have my configuration:

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=update
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/taskmanager
spring.datasource.username=root
spring.datasource.password=root
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I saw similar post with Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' but they were not the same as mine, and their solutions didn't work on my case.

What I have tried:

• Given solution in this post Class SpringHibernateJpaPersistenceProvider does not implement the requested interface PersistenceProvider Changed my hibernate version in pom.xml
• Add and modify dependencies in pom.xml such as hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-core.
• Use mvn clean, mvn install, restart ide (Eclipse), run as java aplication, run as mvn spring-boot:run
• In the entity Task remove the @Id notation.
• Change import javax.persistence.Id; in entity Task for import org.springframework.data.annotation.Id;

I do not know why this error is happening. Help please.

Answer 1

look like you have redundant dependencies specified in the POM,

use this curl to generate a new Project

curl https://start.spring.io/starter.tgz -d dependencies=lombok,data-jpa,web,security,mysql -d type=maven-project | tar -xzvf -

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>

Answer 2

As @M.Deinum said I solved the error by changing my javax.persistence package to jakarta.persistence. So my class Task ended up like this:

    package com.taskManager.Entities;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

import jakarta.persistence.Column;
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.FetchType;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.GenerationType;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.JoinColumn;
import jakarta.persistence.ManyToOne;


@Entity(name = "task")
public class Task {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    private Long id;
    
    @Column(nullable = false)
    private String name;
    
    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    //@JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
    //private User user;
    private String description;
    private LocalDateTime date;
    public Task(Long id, String name, String description, LocalDateTime date) {
        super();
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
        this.date = date;
    }
    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }
    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }
    public LocalDateTime getDate() {
        return date;
    }
    public void setDate(LocalDateTime date) {
        this.date = date;
    }
    public Task(String name, String description, LocalDateTime date) {
        super();
        this.name = name;
        this.description = description;
        this.date = date;
    }
    
    
    
   }

I also had to remove the hibernate,jakarta and javax dependencies in my pom.xml:
