import javax.persistence.column, javax.persistence.entity, javax.persistence.Id - and so on - cannot be resolved

I am trying to follow this tutorial. Instead of starting by using the downloadable project I thought I'd start from a simple "spring MVC - Maven - eclipse" project I did before. This project was running fine.

So, as indicated in that tutorial, I started creating the packages. Then, I created my first class called Contact.java that contains various annotations. See the class below.

package sphbmveclp.contact.form;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="CONTACTS")
public class Contact {

    @Id
    @Column(name="ID")
    @GeneratedValue
    private Integer id;

    @Column(name="FIRSTNAME")
    private String firstname;

    @Column(name="LASTNAME")
    private String lastname;

    @Column(name="EMAIL")
    private String email;

    @Column(name="TELEPHONE")
    private String telephone;

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }
    public String getTelephone() {
        return telephone;
    }
    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }
    public void setTelephone(String telephone) {
        this.telephone = telephone;
    }
    public String getFirstname() {
        return firstname;
    }
    public String getLastname() {
        return lastname;
    }
    public void setFirstname(String firstname) {
        this.firstname = firstname;
    }
    public void setLastname(String lastname) {
        this.lastname = lastname;
    }
    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

I added the following dependency thinking it'd do the job as these annotations are "standard JPA annotations"
