Updating the built-in Spring / Hibernate Archetype in Maven?
The current version of Hibernate is 3.26 and Spring is 2.54 when I create a Spring and Hibernate project based on standard Archetype. How can I use Maven for the newest versions? I tried changing my Spring version from 2.5.4 to 2.5.6, but 2.5.4 was still included in the generated war file.

If you use the tree dependency plugin , you will be able to see which artifacts introduce a transitive dependency on unwanted versions. To ensure they are not included in your war, you can exclude these dependencies.
Suppose some direct dependency foo
introduces a spring 2.5.4 dependency, the following configuration will cause Maven to not resolve this transitive dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>name.seller.rich</groupId>
<artifactId>foo</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Then declaring version 2.5.6 in your POM means your required version will be included:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.5.6</version>
</dependency>
