maven compile errors when i'm trying to map entity to table in postgresql

Question

I need your help to map entity to table using PostgresSQL database , in fact what causes this error is that I tried to map an entity to a table, unfortunately maven cause this problem that I could not identify, so i have to use code first aproach to map this entity to table in postgresql using jpa , persistance.xml and jboss wildfly. Thanks in advance for your support.

package testdb;

import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.persistence.*;


/**
 * The persistent class for the "HAHA" database table.
 * 
 */
@Entity
@Table(name="Ha_ha", schema="public")
public class Haha implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @Id
    @Column(name="ID_HAHA")
    private long idHaha;

    @Column(name="DESIGNATION")
    private String designation;

    public Haha() {
    }

    public long getIdHaha() {
        return this.idHaha;
    }

    public void setIdHaha(long idHaha) {
        this.idHaha = idHaha;
    }

    public String getDesignation() {
        return this.designation;
    }

    public void setDesignation(String designation) {
        this.designation = designation;
    }

}

It looks like you need to add this dependency to your Maven project.

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.persistence</groupId>
    <artifactId>persistence-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>
