why .NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.convert.converter.ConverterRegistry.addConverter

My maven project uses spring, hibernate. I get "no such method error". I believe it is due to some conflict in version in dependencies but dont know what. The build is successful. But during "NetBeans: Deploying on GlassFish Server 4.0" (i use the run button in Netbeans), i get below error which i have tried hard to eliminate without success. Any assistance is appreciated...

failed on GlassFish Server 4.0 
 Error occurred during deployment: Exception while loading the app : java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.convert.converter.ConverterRegistry.addConverter(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;Lorg/springframework/core/convert/converter/Converter;)V.

Just had one of our junior developers here had a very similar error with a spring boot app. Turns out IntelliJ was messed up, we quit IntelliJ, deleted the ".idea" folder within the project, and re-opened. Things worked just fine after that.

It seems that there must have been some caching that IntelliJ was doing to either store libraries or resolve dependencies. And somehow that cache got corrupted.

I know that the original post mentioned NetBeans (not IntelliJ) but I figured leaving this answer here might help. I don't have enough reputation to comment.

If text file encoding of your project is "Cp1252", change it to "UTF-8".

The problem originated when i adapted the project from a working maven+spring+hibernate project. In a zealous attempt, i updated the pom.xml with all the latest versions of dependencies which i think led to the problem. But why it leads to problem, i am not sure. But for now, i have reverted to the original working (but older) versions of dependencies in pom.xml and everything has started working fine. Thanks for your assistance & efforts.

Check if all jars of Spring Framework has the same version. I had this problem before and it occurs because one dependency of spring framework was in other version number.

You can check the conflicts using maven console:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose
