I get this on a lot of Maven dependencies, though current source of pain is Spring.

I'll set a Spring version and include it like so:

 <spring-version>3.0.0.RELEASE</spring-version>

 <!-- Spring framework -->
 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>${spring-version}</version>
 </dependency>

Which works as expected.

I am however having problems setting my dependency on spring-ws-core for web services. The latest I can find in any repo is 2.0.0-M1.

http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.ws/spring-ws-core

Any clues on what I need to include in my maven POM to get Spring 3 web services to work :)
