Unable to connect to Hibernate using MS SQL 2016

I'm trying launch my project configuration within Eclipse using Hibernate but keep running into this error:

Keep getting repeat 'Could not load AnnotationConfiguration' error. I have tried everything and have exhausted every resource known possible, so any help or guidance is greatly appreciated!

I don't see a jdbc driver in the dependencies. For example:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>7.0.0.jre10</version>
</dependency>

What is the meaning of "The package is inside a non-bundle dependency" warning in a Maven project?

I encountered the warning when I imported my Maven project in IntelliJ:
The package 'org.xml.sax' is inside a non-bundle dependency
There are, in fact, 3 packages causing this: org.xml.sax, javax.servlet, and javax.xml.parsers. I have checked pom.xml and these packages weren't there except for javax.servlet.
Do I need to add the missing packages to the pom.xml? The program works but it would be better to get rid of this warning. I would also like to know if there are any expected problems when this warning is present.
This is the project's pom.xml

I am not sure this task can solve 100% problem, but it is better:
<dependency>

<version>${springVersion}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
(add scope test)

The error seems to be due to incompatible libraries being used. The spring version you are using may not support Java 1.7
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.1.1.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/html/new-in-3.0.html#new-in-3.0-intro
Try either bumping up the spring version or downgrading the java version. Also, make sure there are no libraries with 2 different versions being added implicitly causing the incompatibility. If you are using an IDE like eclipse, try the maven plugin and see the versions of all the libraries it is resolving to. Few of the libraries you are using implicitly may download different version of a dependent library causing the conflict.

Maven package- run server- deploy with single command

I am using maven to build an application. At the same time I want the war file to get deployed on Tomcat.
I am using
mvn tomcat7:deploy
command. It builds and deploy the war file on running instance of Tomcat.
But now I need to deploy the war file even if the tomcat is not running prior.
That is what's the command to which can start the tomcat first and then deploy the war file ?
I am trying but not able to figure it out.

Is there anyway to achieve this ?

Follow below steps
Add following in your project pom.xml file,if tomcat running locally else give server ip address in place of localhost
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
<configuration>
<url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
<username>hariom</username>
<password>hariom</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In your Tomcat Server's tomcat-users.xml add this entry
<role rolename="manager-script"/>
<user username="hariom" password="hariom" roles="manager-script"/>
The Maven artifact can be built and deployed to Tomcat with the following command,which you already using
mvn tomcat7:deploy
Edit :-
Run Mojo: run your Maven war project quickly !

I am trying to create an application on google app engine using Struts2, Spring and JPA to connect to appengine datastore.
I have created a maven project and I am able to configure struts2 and spring properly but whenever i try to connect to appengine non-relation database I get the below mentioned error
could not resolve type: javax.persistence.Persistence

I have checked a lot of threads discussing similar issues (sample) but none of the fixes provided are able to solve my issue. I included nearly all the dependencies but none worked.
Please help

issue was fixed once i removed optional from geronimo
i am able to run a GAE application with JPA :)
My latest POM where its working is below
