Description brettryan 2015-08-21 05:08:53 UTC 
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create New Maven Web Application (File > New Project > Maven > Web Application)

   - The project level is not important but I chose Java EE 7 Web + Tomcat 8

2. Project Properties > Frameworks > Add > Spring Web MVC
3. Configuration > Dispatcher Mapping = /
4. "Click "OK"

Inspect projects pom.xml when complete, it will contain dependencies like the following:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>unknown.binary</groupId>
            <artifactId>org-apache-commons-logging</artifactId>
            <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>unknown.binary</groupId>
            <artifactId>cglib-2.2</artifactId>
            <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>unknown.binary</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-aop-4.0.1.RELEASE</artifactId>
            <version>SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>

Could I suggest that it's recommended to use spring's Bill Of Materials (BOM). Personally I always use ${version.spring} in my properties to make it easier to update versions.

Also note that I chose v 4.0.1, yet the POM got littered with SNAPSHOT.

Use the following dependency management with spring:

  <dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-framework-bom</artifactId>
        <version>${version.spring}</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>
  </dependencyManagement>

This appears to now be working in the NetBeans 8.1RC.
