GWT Requestfactory issue with Maven + IntelliJ - maven

Question

I am working on a webapp project using GWT 2.5.1 and the requestfactory with a maven config. Actually, I began the project out of maven as a standalone project in eclipse and it still works fine.
But for integration purpose I had to integrate the project as a maven module and to use IntelliJ IDE. And now, when I launch the project on dev mode it works, but as soon as I use the requestfactory I get an Error500. I have found many topic on this subject but I still can not fix it.
I guess this error is either related to annotating processing or to pom.xml config.
About annotationg processing with gwt requestfactory-apt.jar configuration, I can not get the rep .apt_generated with my new configuration with maven in IntelliJ like I did in eclipse and I don't understand why.
Here is my maven config pom.xml:

I would be really thankful if someone could help me get through this.

Answer 1

I finally solved it.
It seems I was all wrong about the problem. Indeed, my problem was related to maven config in pom.xml for bean validation. I was using a version of hibernate which is too recent, just had to downgrade to hibernate 4.3.1.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>4.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
