NoSuchMethodError in javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index

I’ve ran into the same problem. The question here is that play-java-jpa artifact (javaJpa key in the build.sbt file) depends on a different version of the spec (version 2.0 -> "org.hibernate.javax.persistence" % "hibernate-jpa-2.0-api" % "1.0.1.Final").

When you added hibernate-entitymanager 4.3 this brought the newer spec (2.1) and a different factory provider for the entitymanager. Basically you ended up having both jars in the classpath as transitive dependencies.

Edit your build.sbt file like this and it will temporarily fix you problem until play releases a new version of the jpa plugin for the newer api dependency.

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
javaJdbc,
javaJpa.exclude("org.hibernate.javax.persistence", "hibernate-jpa-2.0-api"),
"org.hibernate" % "hibernate-entitymanager" % "4.3.0.Final"
)

This is for play 2.2.x. In previous versions there were some differences in the build files.
