Maven defines the entire build, including dependencies. It's the build system of record, and should manage all this.
You can use an IDE but it really has to have Maven integration to make this work seamlessly. IntelliJ does and Eclipse does, and I assume but don't know if Netbeans does. (And, I should say I strongly recommend IntelliJ's free edition of the 3.) Without it, yeah, setting up the dependencies is manual and bound to break regularly. You're getting some form of this error and it'll keep happening if you don't use Maven. (Although I must say I wonder where we get a dependency on javax.persistence?)
