title: Hibernate validator error - 4.0.2.GA
body: <p>the validate function of the Hibernate Validator seems to be buggy (version hibernate-validator-4.0.2.GA.jar). Do I maybe miss a dependency?</p>
  
  <p>Part of my stack trace:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.persistence.Persistence.getPersistenceUtil()Ljavax/persistence/PersistenceUtil;
