i am trying to build a single executable jar file with dependencies using maven shade plug in. in my pom.xml, i have added a dependency on a package which i have locally complied (mvn install) which is also a springframework based package. but i am getting following errors when i run my application.
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/context] Offending resource: class path resource [applicationContext.xml]
while spending half of today googling for answers, i've found out that different springframework modules' manifest files can overwrite each other, and hence i have to use AppendingTransformer so that they can be appended instead of being overwritten. so i have added those lines, but it is still failing. what could be wrong?
here is my plug-in definition.
