Jar to include to use javax.annotation.*

Question

I'm a bit confused. I need to compile a project in jDeveloper 11.1.1.6.0. The server side of the project is deployed on the Glassfish server. On the machine of the project's creator everything compiles without any problems.

Using project properties -> Libraries and Classpath I added the libraries such as gf-client.jar, security etc. from $glassfish_home/glassfish/modules and some others (e.g. hibernate3.jar from hibernate dir).

When I try to compile the project I receive the following errors:

package javax.annotation.security does not exist

and

package javax.persistence does not exist.

I suppose that I miss some jars to include. I tried to find which jars (from Glassfish or from JDK) contain javax.annotation.* and javax.persistence.* but I couldn't.

If you have any ideas I would be thankful!

I was having the same problem and was able to solve it by adding a couple of dependencies to the Maven pom.xml file. See this answer for more details.
