错误！ java.lang.NoSuchMethodError：运行命令maven install时

Question

I have the following error when I execute the command mvn install . I have seen few posts online related to my problem but I still could not resolve my issue. The error is:

<<< ERROR! java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils.instantiateClass(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/Object; at org.springframework.test.context.ContextLoaderUtils.resolveContextLoader(ContextLoaderUtils.java:87)

And here is my pom.xml file:

Answer 1

I am not sure this task can solve 100% problem, but it is better:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
    <version>${springVersion}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

(add scope test )

Answer 2

The error seems to be due to incompatible libraries being used. The spring version you are using may not support Java 1.7

http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.1.1.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/html/new-in-3.0.html#new-in-3.0-intro

Try either bumping up the spring version or downgrading the java version. Also, make sure there are no libraries with 2 different versions being added implicitly causing the incompatibility. If you are using an IDE like eclipse, try the maven plugin and see the versions of all the libraries it is resolving to. Few of the libraries you are using implicitly may download different version of a dependent library causing the conflict.
