How to access javax/persistence/ from client? - jpa

Question

When running java hwai.Main from directory target/classes, I get an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/Persistence
at hwai.Main.main(Main.java:17)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.persistence.Persistence
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
...
I get the same error when I'm running java hwai.Main from directory target/test1/WEB-INF/classes
This is my project structure after running mvn package glassfish:redeploy:

Searching the internet, I found Eclipse Warnings: class javax.persistence.* not found and java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/persistence/Persistence, but neither helped me. I'm quite a javaee newbie.
pom.xml contains among others
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.persistence</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
The import - statement in Main.java is
import javax.persistence.Persistence;
