You can see its a nested error ... I think its all because the problem with the HibernatePersistence class ... As you can see i have a LOT of dependencys in my pom.xml ... thats the result of trying unsuccessfuly ..

Hope you guys can help me! Let me know if there is something more you need. (I just delete some of the error content for the characters limit ... nothing important i hope hehe)

The class org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence is missing. It is part of hibernate-entity-manger-<version>.jar

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
   <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
   <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
</dependency>

BTW you mixed the versions of the different hibenate jars in a not recommended way. Use the same version for all the strong related hibernate packages (Hibernate validation is somehing different).

An example:

<properties>
    <spring.version>3.0.6.RELEASE</spring.version>
    <hibernate.version>3.6.7.Final</hibernate.version>
</properties>

...
