Answer 1

• For Spring-core, try removing the version (if you are ok with the latest) .
• Check in pom.xml for any duplicate jar references with different versions.
• Right click on Project -> Maven -> Update Project
• Do a clean Build on the project (clean re-build again to resolve any duplicate jars ) This should pull the latest and resolve. Hope it helps.
