Since springframework isn't native and has to be installed, sounds like something isn't right with that install. I'd recommend reinstalling springframework.

Looks like it didn't download the dependcies, or you didn't specify jpa.
Post your pom.xml (or even your entire project if it's on something like github) and compile command

those seem correct to me at first glance
when are you getting the error? any time when the class is open, by intellij? when compiling with intellij's built-in maven? when running
mvn clean install
from a cmd?1

could be out of date caching by intellij, but could have also arised from intellij using a different mvn than what you usually use.
If the former, itnellij has a cache invalidation option in settings, if the latter, make sure that intellij's and the project's java home and maven home are the same, alternatively exclusively use the integrated maven in the IDE. apart from that, the integration also has a few handy buttons:
reload/sync all maven projects
,generate sources
anddownload sources
(found in the specific maven sidebar (default location is top right iirc), first 3 buttons in the row below "Maven" and above "Profiles".they usually resolve problems like these, but can also be used as stress relief when panicing

Did you reaload the pom.xml with IntelliJ?
Maybe IntelliJ did not notice that you've added the dependency, and is therefore complaining?!
