运行简单的hibernate演示应用程序时出错

Question

我编写了一个简单的hibernate应用程序，但是当我运行时出现此错误

Initial SessionFactory creation failed: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/EntityListeners
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at hibernatedemopart1.Util.HibernateUtil.<clinit>(HibernateUtil.java:35)
    at hibernatedemopart1.HibernateDemoPart1.main(HibernateDemoPart1.java:23)

这是我的HibernateUtil类

package hibernatedemopart1.Util;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.boot.registry.StandardServiceRegistryBuilder;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;



/**

public class HibernateUtil {
    private static SessionFactory sessionFactory;
    private static ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry; 
//    private static Configuration configuration = new Configuration();

    static{
        try{
            Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
            configuration.configure();

            serviceRegistry = new StandardServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(
            configuration.getProperties()).build();

            sessionFactory = configuration.buildSessionFactory(serviceRegistry);
        }catch(Throwable ex){
            System.err.println("Initial SessionFactory creation failed: " + ex);
            throw new ExceptionInInitializerError();
        }
    }

    public static SessionFactory getSessionFactory(){
        return sessionFactory;
    }
}

我不明白错误在哪里。最初在我的HibernateUtil类中，我使用了这段代码

...
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
...

但我发现它已被弃用，所以我决定使用建议的解决方案here
