Failure booting play-java-jpa-example

Play Framework

When I run the Play JPA Example, downloaded either from GitHub or the Examples page, I get this error:

ProvisionException: Unable to provision, see the following errors:

1) Error injecting constructor, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/dom4j/io/STAXEventReader

This happens if I boot it with sbt run or through IntelliJ.

The error goes away if I update org.hibernate.hibernate-core from 5.2.5.Final to 5.2.13.Final.
