>DETAILED APPROACH
A
build path problem usually indicates that a dependency is missing.
So, this kind of problem may have many reasons.
First check your development tool configuration.
If Eclipse, go to
preferences, Build Path. Check also
Project Facets.
Go to the pom.xml and check the compilation configuration version.
It must be the same of Eclipse's configuration.
Example:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>
1.6</source>
<target>
1.6</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
If Eclipse configuration is using version java 7, switch to 1.7 where it is 1.6.
After all this check up, if the problem remains, do the following:
1. Remove all dependencies from your pom.xml file and let it as follow:
<dependencies>
</dependencies>
2. Then insert the dependencies again using small groups (for instance 3 dependencies) until one of them triggers the target error.
Then isolate the dependency that causes the problem removing and test one by one in that group until the error disappears.
