Question

I am creating a sample project with maven for spring and hibernate. I am very new to this development. After placing the dependency such as

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupid>org.hibernate</groupid>
        <artifactid>hibernate-core</artifactid>
        <version>3.3.1.GA</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupid>org.springframework</groupid>
        <artifactid>spring</artifactid>
        <version>${springVersion}</version>
    </dependency>

In eclipse it gives an error as Multiple annotations found at this line:

- Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.groupId' for null:null:jar is 
 missing.
- Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.artifactId' for null:null:jar is 
 missing.

I guess, the jar files for spring and hibernate are missing. Can someone let me know how to resolve this issue.

Answer 1

Because your pom.xml has the invalid format

It should be

• <groupId> instead of <groupid>
• <artifactId> instead of <artifactid>

You can check the correct format of pom.xml at here
