Integrate spring with hibernate using maven dependencies

Question

I had made a project using Spring & Hibernate with maven as tool organiser.

Sometimes back it seems that the following version of hibernate was stopped/removed/something from all the repositories

        <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
        <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>cglib</groupId>
                <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
     <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations
        </artifactId>
        <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
    </dependency>

So, I switched to following versions to resolve all the compilation related issues etc:

       <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-annotations</artifactId>
        <!--version>3.3.0.ga</version-->
        <version>3.5.6-Final</version>

        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>cglib</groupId>
                <artifactId>cglib</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>


    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-commons-annotations
        </artifactId>
        <version>3.3.0.ga</version>
        <!--version>3.5.6-Final</version-->
    </dependency>

Though al the compilation related issues got resolved, I am facing lot of problems trying to deploy the war file created using these hibernate versions and spring dependencies (though the war is getting generated successfully, while deployment Spring & hibernate are giving some errors).

Basically, I want to use the latest version of Spring & Hibernate and create a web application war file.

I would really appreciate if some one can list the set of spring & hibernate maven dependencies which are successfully available in all repositories along with the list of repositories to create a successful web application, preferably if you have successfully deployed and used that war.

These are the spring related dependencies and other dependencies I have used in my application:

  <properties>
    <servlet-api.version>2.5.0</servlet-api.version>
    <maven.jetty.version>6.1.10</maven.jetty.version>
    <!--ehcache.version>1.2.3</ehcache.version-->
    <net.sf.ehcache.version>2.2.0</net.sf.ehcache.version>
</properties>

Other technologies I am using :

EhCache, Solr, MySQL

The old setup used to work fantastically in my first computer but when I switched to new system (computer), all of a sudden lot of hibernate dependencies etc went missing and I did lot of trial & error resolving various dependencies for Spring & Hibernate.

I would really appreciate if some one can give me a sober solution so hat I can get my webapp back to working mode

I was working on some maven 2 version, but if I have to switch to maven 3 etc, I am ready for that too. I just need a solution which works end to end without the need to disturb my code.
