> Terry, what is the $xbean.version is used in the pom.xml? 2.8
My code is built against the 3.1 release of ServiceMix. As an experiment, I just deleted all the 1.2.x versions of Spring from my repository and built ServiceMix 3.1 from source. Spring versions 1.2.4 and 1.2.6 both re-appeared in the repository during the phase 1 build. Servicemix-core uses 1.2.4 and the xfire-maven-plugin uses 1.2.6. If you then check the build, you can see that the JSR-181 component build is over-riding the dependency management and substituting 1.2.6 instead of 2.0.1 so it looks as though there is some cross-contamination of Spring classes within ServiceMix.
