How to Overcome Spring and Jbehave Versioning Problem?

In our project we are using Spring 3.0.0.RELEASE, and now we are trying to add JBehave to our project.

Here the problem is JBehave latest 3.4.5(Release) version uses Spring 2.5.6 (spring-context, spring-test).

then we got problem in dependencies in maven.

is there any solut开发者_如何学Goion to continue our project with Spring version 3.0 and Jbehave Spring version 2.5.6 without any conflicts?

JBehave will probably also work with Spring 3.0. You could simply try to exclude the transitive dependency from JBehave. I didn't test this but it should look similar to this:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
    ...         
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
            <version>3.0</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>
        ...
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.jbehave</groupId>
            <artifactId>jbehave</artifactId>
            <version>3.4.5</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-test</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
     ....
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
