Play 2.4.0, how to fix "HHH015016: Encountered a deprecated javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]; use [org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider] instead."

[Daniel Lindberg]

I'm using play 2.4.0 with JPA and the Hibernate implementation. 

Seeing this message in the log:

[warn] o.h.e.HibernatePersistence - HHH015016: Encountered a deprecated javax.persistence.spi.PersistenceProvider [org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence]; use [org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider] instead.

My persistence.xml is a copy paste from the Play documentation:

<persistence xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence"
             xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
             xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd"
             version="2.1">


    <persistence-unit name="defaultPersistenceUnit" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <provider>org.hibernate.jpa.HibernatePersistenceProvider</provider>
        <non-jta-data-source>DefaultDS</non-jta-data-source>
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.H2Dialect"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>


</persistence>

In build.sbt I'm importing javaJpa and Hibernate 4.3.10.Final. 

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  javaJpa,
  "org.hibernate" % "hibernate-entitymanager" % "4.3.10.Final",
  ...
)

Any idea where this might be coming from and how to fix?

This has nothing to do with Play.

This is a bug in Hibernate, which will be fixed in upcoming Hibernate 5, see https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-9141

Actually printing the warning message itself is the bug, nothing else. You don't have to change anything in your code, just ignore this warning for now.
