Spring-security error in config security.xml: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'http'

Question

I am trying to run this example:

http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/current/guides/html5//helloworld-xml.html

I installed a fresh Eclipse Mars.2, JDK 1.8, import the Maven Project and get two errors in security.xml:

cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'http'.

cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'user-service'.

I get similar errors in my old Eclipse installation with STS and other plugins installed. I find many references to this problem. All have to do with XML namespaces or a bad project setup. But I am using the a fresh install with the example used in the main spring security tutorial, so it should work without changes. What can I do?

Thanks, Ropo

Problem went away after adding "-4.1" to the schema:
