Can not find the declaration of element 'persistence'

Have put the persistence.xml in the classpath of the project in eclipse because before the error was that the file was not found. Now gives this error:

Caused by: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Invalid persistence.xml. Error parsing XML [line : -1, column : -1] : cvc-elt.1: Can not find the declaration of element 'persistence'
