In the project explorer it is shown that project is running on java 1.5
So i changed it to java 1.8 from java build path of project
i removed the java 1.5 and pointed it to java 1.8
then the changes were visible.
but when i update the pom.xml it again show java 1.5.
Also in the project facets it is java 1.8
Please help me in making it java 1.8

Sparsh , In the plugins options of maven you should add the compiler level
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
2.3.2
<configuration>
<source>${jdk.version}</source>
<target>${jdk.version}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugins>
And in your properties stanza , you should have
<properties>
<jdk.version>1.8</jdk.version>
</properties>

Spring 4.2.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 5.0.4.Final compatibility issue

Has anyone configured Spring 4.2.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 5.0.4.Final together ? Official documents from Spring say from version 4.2 spring starts supporting Hibernate version 5. But in case of configuring them together i always get the following Exception

This pom.xml and my other configurations are quite okay with Spring 4.0.6 and Hibernate 4.3.6 ... Can anyone please share his/her experience with these latest version compatibility issues. Or is there anything new way to configure them together that I am missing ?

I was dealing with same problem for a few hours. I have noticed that :
[INFO] +- org.springframework.security:spring-security-core:jar:4.0.3.RELEASE:compile
[INFO] | +- aopalliance:aopalliance:jar:1.0:compile
[INFO] | \- org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:4.2.2.RELEASE:compile
This shows that lastest spring-security-core version 4.0.3.RELEASE is dependent with Spring Framework 4.2.2.RELEASE.
You have two solution for this:
1) Exclude spring-aop 4.2.2 for spring-security-core and explicitly add your dependency description for spring-aop:jar:4.2.3.RELEASE to your pom file.
2) Change your 4.2.3.RELEASE dependency to 4.2.2.RELEASE and change Hibernate version 5.0.4.Final to 5.0.2.Final
I choose second way and it worked for me.

Looking at the pom.xml of spring-orm-4.2.3.RELEASE, the version of the hibernate that it is using is 5.0.3.Final
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
<version>5.0.3.Final</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
It is an optional dependency, so it will not be resolved as a transitive dependency. You still need to provide the necessary hibernate jars like what you are currently doing. You only need to modify the version to the official version that it is using.
<hibernate-framework.version>5.0.3.Final</hibernate-framework.version>

How to update neo4j from 2.1.5 to 2.2.3 in Spring?

I needed to update my neo4j community from version 2.1.5 to version 2.2.3 to use it's new features.
I worked with it and create database in it.
Now, when I'm trying to run my Spring project, I'm getting an errors:
Caused by: org.neo4j.kernel.impl.storemigration.StoreUpgrader$UnexpectedUpgradingStoreVersionException: 'neostore.nodestore.db' has a store version number that we cannot upgrade from. Expected 'v0.A.1' but file is version 'NodeStore v0.A.5'.

... 112 more
In my pom.xml I changed spring-neo4j.version from 3.2.2.RELEASE to 3.3.1.RELEASE
After updating of project in Maven dependencies neo4j-files has version 2.1.7 but I need 2.2.3. How can I update dependencies in right way?

Use SDN 3.3.2 which is to be released today or tomorrow.
Then you can depend on org.neo4j:neo4j:2.2.3 and it should work.

Spring mvc maven - adding libraries

I am creating a spring mvc application. I am came across maven recently and planning to use it with my current project.
I have downloaded maven and configured it on my machine and using the command line interface.
I created a project with following command:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.priyank -DartifactId=SpringWebApp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false
After that I updated my pom.xml file with dependencies:

After updating pom.xml from my command line I executed:
mvn install
which downloaded all dependencies in my local repo.
After that I converted it to my eclipse project using command:
mvn eclipse:eclipse -Dwtpversion=2.0
Now after importing this project SpringWebApp in my workspace I can see libraries included in manner like this:
Usually when I create Spring mvc without maven, I put my libraries under WEB-INF\lib folder.
I am confused here. Seems I have done something wrong. What is the right way to include this libraries in project?
P.S.: This added jre 1.4 as my runtime, but I have changed it to 1.7

I prefer use m2e plugin include in eclipse to make .classpath / .project and .settings of eclipse configuration then eclipse:eclipse goal.
When you configure eclipse project with m2e plugin classpath libraries is done like this:
And all dependencies are deploy in WEB-INF/lib automatically by eclipse and into war by maven-war-plugin.
to force use of specific version of java you need to specify version in configuration of maven-compiler-plugin like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>

please help me

You can use the mvn-plugin maven-enforcer-plugin to identify your
problems with commons-logging.
Add this snippet to your master or parent pom.xml
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>enforce-banned-dependencies</id>
<goals>
<goal>enforce</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<rules>
<bannedDependencies>
<searchTransitive>true</searchTransitive>
<excludes>
<exclude>commons-logging</exclude>
<exclude>org.slf4j:1.5*</exclude>
<exclude>org.slf4j:1.6*</exclude>
<exclude>org.springframework:2.*</exclude>
<exclude>org.springframework:3.0.*</exclude>
</excludes>
</bannedDependencies>
</rules>
<fail>true</fail>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
......
</plugins>
The right mvn-configuration in your project for logging slf4j within log4j could be:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.7.1</version>
</dependency>
<!-- slf4j-bridge for commons-logging -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<version>1.7.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.7.1</version>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
This could produces e. g. that error
...
[INFO] --- maven-enforcer-plugin:1.1.1:enforce (enforce-banned-dependencies) # sd4h ---
[WARNING] Rule 0: org.apache.maven.plugins.enforcer.BannedDependencies failed with message:
Found Banned Dependency: commons-logging:commons-logging:jar:1.1.1
Use 'mvn dependency:tree' to locate the source of the banned dependencies.
...
It can be solved, when it will be excluded in your mvn configuration e. g.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2.RELEASE</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
<groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>

I had the same problem and i SOLVED it updating the jcl-over-slf4j jar file.
I'm using 1.7.5 version and it succesfully deploys.
Here is my pom.xml's dependencies. Hope this help you.

run
mvn dependency:tree or mvn dependency:list to get a list over all your dependencies including the transitive ones.

This issue has been bugging me for some time and it appears to catch quite a number of people.(See here also) Fresh install of STS, download latest MVC template, builds OK, won't run because of this SLF4J issue.
This issue appears to be incompatibilities between slf4j libraries and dependencies that are used by maven.
The easy solution (here) is to edit the pom and remove the exclusion for commons-logging, and then delete the dependencies for slf4j. Spring drops back to commons logging when slf4j is not available.
The harder solution I gave up on and that is to track down which versions work with the current shipping STS(3.1) and ensure that the template works with the correct versions.
I hope this post assists others who have tried the template and cannot get it to run out of the box as it should.

There is some version conflict between some commons logging lib and one of the slf4j libs.
(This is not a maven problem, it is a problem that occures if you maintain the libs by hand too.)
Open the maven pom with eclipse. There is a Tab called "hirarchy" it will show the used and required versions. Try to use a cobination of the logging liaries that does not have so much conflicts.
I have had a look at your pom. The problem is the jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.8.jar it CONTAINS some org.apache.commons.loggin jars that are not compatible to slf4j 1.6.6.
jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.8.jar is referenced by org.jasig.cas
What I would try is to replace the jcl-over-slf4j-1.5.8.jar with jcl-over-slf4j-1.6.6.jar
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jasig.cas</groupId>
<artifactId>cas-server-core</artifactId>
<version>3.5.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId>
<version>1.6.6</version>
</dependency>
But I do not know cas-server-core 3.5.0 is compatible with jcl-over-slf4j-1.6.6.jar. But in most cases the "outer" API of an logging framework is more stable then the "inner" API that is used by the logging Bridges. -- So good luck.
