Spring can recognize the correct version of the schemas from the dependencies. Hence, it is not necessary to use version numbers in the schema references anymore. The class snippet shows an example:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/
      http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-
      context.xsd">
      <!-- Other bean definitions-->
    </beans>
