[FIXED] Import org.springframework in a maven project

Issue

I am learning Spring in maven environment. I am using netbeans.

pom.xml

<dependencies>
    <?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/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.davidsalter.cookbook</groupId>
<artifactId>springMavenTest</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
        <version>4.3.4.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

</project>

And spring.context-4.3.4.RELEASE.jar appears under Dependencies. Under Java Dependencies i only have JDK1.8.

When i have to configure my beans in a java class using @Configuration and @Bean annotations i can't import org.springframework.

Solution

It seems that you just create a maven project in NetBeans. The maven dependencies you declared in pom.xml will be downloaded and listed in the Dependencies folder.

Right click on Dependencies folder and click on Download Declared Dependencies to reload the dependency. If still failed, you may need to check your maven proxy in setting.xml.
