已添加依赖仍报java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.persistence.Persistence

尽管已添加JPA依赖，且persistence.xml文件放置在正确位置，但仍遇到错误。需要说明的是，Java应用的测试类已成功创建数据库表，当前在控制器中通过以下代码连接持久化：

private static EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("unit");
private static EntityManager entityManager = emf.createEntityManager();
private static EntityTransaction transactionObj = entityManager.getTransaction();

项目使用的Maven依赖（pom.xml） #

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>mysql</groupId>
        <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
        <version>8.0.12</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.glassfish.web</groupId>
        <artifactId>jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl</artifactId>
        <version>1.2.6</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
        <artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.0</version>

        <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
