Question

Using Maven to build my project under windows works fine, but when I build it under Linux I get a NoSuchMethodError regarding one of the spring libs.

I am guessing it is something to do with class loader differences cross-platform and somewhere in my dependencies and I may have the same class twice but windows is loading one while linux loads the other?

Has anyone come across this problem before, or have any advice on how I can debug this error further?

nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:             
org.springframework.aop.config.AopNamespaceUtils.registerAutoProxyCreatorIfNecessary(Lorg/springframework/beans/factory/xml/ParserContext;Lorg/w3c/dom/Element;)V:

Your spring dependencies have too many different versions:

org.springframework:spring-beans:jar:2.5.6:compile
org.springframework:spring-aop:jar:2.0.8:compile
org.springframework:spring-jms:jar:3.0.5.RELEASE:compile

Make all spring dependencies have the same version (preferably 3.0.5.RELEASE)
