Problems when compiling and running a simple Maven project with Spring in JDeveloper 12c

Question

I'm trying to compile and run the first examples of the book "Beginning Spring" in JDeveloper but I'm running with some issues.

Here's the 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.wiley.beginningspring</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-book-ch2</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>jar</packaging>

  <name>spring-book-ch2</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>

  <properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>junit</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
      <version>3.8.1</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
        <version>4.0.5.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>


  </dependencies>
  <repositories/>
  <pluginRepositories/>
</project>

JDeveloper marks the following imports with errors of package not found:

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowire;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;

Of course I can't compile the project since those errors are present.

I've already installed Spring integration in the Updates menu.

In Netbeans 8 and Spring Tool Suite the project marks no errors and compiles and runs fine.

Try adding this dependency to your pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-beans</artifactId>
  <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
