playframework - package javax.persistence does not exist

Question

I have Issue with using database I was going with this tutorial http://vimeo.com/58969923# (one from playframework.com page) in the model:

play-2.2.1/jcirs/app/models/MedicalIncident.java

public class MedicalIncident extends Model{}

I am trying to use Entity. For that I have to import: javax.persistence.* and play.db.ebean.* but none of them can be found. The error is

package javax.persistence does not exist

What should I do? Use any other database engine? Or should download some dependency. I would like to go with playframework best way. Please help.

My configuration application.conf:

 db.default.driver=org.h2.Driver
 db.default.url="jdbc:h2:mem:play"
 ebean.default="models.*"

stack trace:

Have you updated your project dependencies in Build.scala? Not sure if anything has changed in Play 2.2.1 but for Play 2.1.3 dependencies in Build.scala would look like this:

  val appDependencies = Seq(
    javaCore,
    javaJdbc,
    javaEbean
  )

EDIT: Once you update your dependencies in Build.scala don't forget to update dependencies in your IDEA or Eclipse by running corresponding play command, e.g.

play idea
