Question

Does anyone have an idea how I can use Spring Data JPA and use Spring 3.1.0/3.1.1?

Spring Data JPA 1.0.3 depends on spring 3.0.5 so as soon as I add a spring data jpa as a dependency I get a conflict as I’m using 3.1.0.

I’ve tried using maven excludes but have had not had much success.

I am successfully integrating Spring Data JPA 1.0.3 with Spring 3.1.0. Here is a stripped pom.xml that looks fine:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>example</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-aspects</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-data-jpa</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.3.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

</project>

Looking at transitive dependencies, everything seems OK:

$ mvn dependency:tree
    com.example:example:jar:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT

|  +- org.springframework:spring-asm:jar:3.1.0.RELEASE:compile

What kind of conflicts do you have?
