Exception when trying to run a test with Spring runner

[Soheil Tayari]

I'm using Spring 3.0.5 and I want to inject some properties using spring into my test classes. I'm using SpringJUnit4ClassRunner to run the tests and perform the injection. But I get an exception when I try to run the test. It seems that the exception has already been reported (here) but has been closed and it's not helping me much. Here's the stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.core.OrderComparator.sort(Ljava/til/ist;)V

Any idea?

Looking at stack trace it seems as if problem is due to some old version spring jars in your classpath.

All my jars are version 3.0.5. I got no older jar.
