java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.getMessageLogger(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object;

Question

I am converting a Spring web project to a Maven project and I am getting this error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.getMessageLogger(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object;

Apart from this error, seems that I have a lot of problems with dependencies, I am trying to fix them but I am a complete newbie into Maven:

Solution

You seem to have the org.jboss.logging.Logger class in two libraries:

jboss:jboss-common:jar:4.2.2.GA and org.jboss.logging:jboss-logging:jar:3.1.3.GA

the second one is used by hibernate and I would thing it is the correct one. I think you need to use the correct jboss-common version to not run into this issue.
