The import org.springframework.data cannot be resolved

Question

I have a strange issue. I've created a class RegisteredUrl:

package com.deshand.model;

import java.net.URL;

import org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.mapping.Document;

@Document

public class RegisteredUrl {

private final String id;
private final URL url;

public RegisteredUrl(String id, URL url) {
    this.id = id;
    this.url = url;
}

public String getId() {
    return id;
}

public URL getUrl() {
    return url;
}

}

when I got error "The import org.springframework.data cannot be resolved".

My next step: add a maven dependency

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-mongodb</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.0.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

Now "import" error disappeared, but I got 38 more errors and eclipse tells me that I'm trying to override managed version of org.springframework.data.

Complete pom.xml:

<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.deshand.adc</groupId>
<artifactId>test-assignment</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.6.RELEASE</version>
</parent>

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
        <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
        <version>18.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Any ideas?

Solution

include following in pom

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
</dependency>

Can you post your pom.xml? It seems you are trying to override parent dependency with child.

[Sangam Belose]

you must be getting the spring-data-mongodb from some other dependency..

Try <parent> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> <version>1.5.6.RELEASE</version> <properties> <org.springframework.data>1.7.0.RELEASE</org.springframework‌​.data> </properties> </parent> by replacing current <parent> tag?
