I am upgrading jpa, hibernate, spring, and jdk to enable the new features from JPA 2.1. But I am getting the following error: 

```
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Table.indexes()[Ljavax/persistence/Index;  

```

I have read other postings about this, but they do not resolve the error on my machine. For instance, [SJuan76's answer to this posting](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22431153/getting-nosuchmethoderror-javax-persistence-table-indexes-while-performing-jp) suggests upgrading to jpa 2.1, but I have set the eclipse jpa project facet to version 2.1 and I have also included `hibernate-jpa-2.1-api` in my pom.xml. You can read all the versions of the various libraries in the complete pom.xml [by clicking on this link](https://jumpshare.com/v/4uC5ssP2AfF7HrW84Roe?b=EKq81LlN7Did4OzmAEOR). **What do I need to change in the pom.xml or in the eclipse project to resolve this error?** 

**Note: I can get rid of the error by changing the hibernate version in the pom.xml back to `<hibernate.version>4.2.1.Final</hibernate.version>`, but this defeats the purpose of upgrading. Does the fact that changing the hibernate version turns the error on and off help us to diagnose the problem?** 

If the problem is multiple jars conflicting with each other, I could use the eclipse type manager to disable one of the jars, but which jar would I look for? 

Here is the complete stack trace:
