problem creating an executable jar with maven using spring 5 and hibernate 5 => BeanDefinitionParsingException

Update:
As there is only one answer for now I try to describe it better now.
In short words, my test application runs fine in eclipse and when starting with mvn exec but building a running/working executable jar package does not work for this project.
Now the longer description. I'm learning Java for about 8 month and use maven to setup build projects and Eclipse as IDE for writing and debugging. Currently I am trying to make some small database projects using Spring, Hibernate and for testing H2. The DAO classes use the entityManager. Compiling and running my test application works fine in eclipse and in maven. In eclipse I use:
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="maven.springhibernateh2.basic.CRUDTest"
That works fine. My problem started to build and run an executable jar.
Normally I am used to add a plugin section into the pom.xml like e.g.:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>maven.springhibernateh2.basic.CRUDTest</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
That's normally enough when the maven exec command works and looks like e.g.
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="maven.springhibernateh2.basic.CRUDTest"
Unfortunately I get problems in this project. The error message is:
org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx]
Offending resource: class path resource [Beans.xml]
As the projects normally runs I expect that building the executable jar has some problems and I guess that the pom.xml is missing something in combinations with the beans definition.
Now the two files pom.xml and Beans.xml.
Here my pom.xml:

I did some experiments with the suggestion of Slobodan Margetić (thank you :-) ) but unfortunately it did not help. Changing the Beans.xml caused the application to stop working at all.
As my test application worked in Eclipse and in maven I expect that the Beans.xml should be correct but expect the pom.xml to miss something.
I found this:
https://www.baeldung.com/unable-to-locate-spring-namespacehandler-for-xml-schema-namespace
As I have the dependeny spring-tx in my pom.xml it should normally work. Unfortunately it does not work. At the end a person called Anuja wrote:
"Some of the spring jars contain meta info files with the same name.” Hence to avoid that some meta files are overridden, I used the maven-shade-plugin to merge them "
Maybe this can be the case for my project, too. How can I check it?
Has anybody experience with the maven-shade-plugin or a suggestion what I can try to find a solution?

try using this for beans:
<beans xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_2_0.xsd" bean-discovery-mode="all" version="2.0">
</beans>
it should make it go through files to find beans.
if it doesnt work try reading through this link : http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-frameworks/cdi/configuring-beans-xml-file

Error in application (Hibernate 5 + Spring MVC 5)

There is an application on Hibernate 5 + Spring MVC 5. GlassFish server 4.1.1 is used.
When you start the logs says:
Severe: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V
On the Internet write that it's dependencies, but I tried to no avail.

I suspect this dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
<version>4.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
You are using hibernate 5.2.12.Final version why are you using 4.3.1.Final for this one. And as you can see here : https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-entitymanager this dependency is depricated and they suggest using hibernate-core instead.

Autowiring seems to fail

Line 23 is the call to calendarService.
Sorry for the long wall of text, but I wanted to show my problem as clear as possible. Any input or suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance:)

With Spring, Autowire will always wire the bean or it will fail unless you specifically mark it as #autowired(required = false) If you get a null pointer and it isn't autowiring that means you aren't using Spring to manage your beans.
You need to use Spring MVC (the Spring DispatcherServlet) to instantiate your objects. Take a look at 17.2 in http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html. That shows you how to configure your project (either in XML or using Annotation only) so that Spring will manage your beans and properly autowire everything.

In order to load your beans and autowiring them, you need to configure the ContextLoaderListener in your web.xml and specify where is your main master context which is your case is "ApplicationContext.xml", by default the ContextLoaderListener loads the following file context "/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml", so please rename your file appropriately. Here are some links that can help you to setup and understand the context loader mechanism:
http://www.springbyexample.org/examples/simple-spring-mvc-form-annotation-config-webapp.html#simple-spring-mvc-form-annotation-config-webapp-web-config
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/beans.html#context-create
and a tutorial that explains how to create a restful api with Spring 3 step by step: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-spring3webserv/index.html?ca=drs-

you need to use #Autowired annotation on interface not a class.
so, create an interface, make CalendarService class implements it, then autowire the interface.
hope it works!

Resource bundle file path is src/main/resources/content/socialGraph.properties and this is one property in this file
socialgraph.panel.filter.time.header=Time
When i want to use this property in .jsp file, property is not mapped and h4 element is rendered with source code of .jsp file:
<h4> <spring:message code="socialgraph.panel.filter.time.header" /> </h4>

I am using Spring 4 and this is how I do it
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="classpath:messages" />
<property name="defaultEncoding" value="UTF-8" />
</bean>
My property file is directly under resources folder. For your case, you might need to change the value of basename to classpath:content/socialGraph

Spring + Maven: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'jdbc:embedded-database'

i am currently trying to build a little webapp that uses Spring, Hibernate and Maven (running on a tomcat). It works quite fine, except that i cannot get my embedded-database to work. I hope you can help me.
I am always facing this error, when i am deploying the webapp to the Tomcat:
The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'jdbc:embedded-database'
During my investigations i learned that this message is pointing towards missing libraries. Therefore i added my pom.xml, where i added the artifact spring-jdbc.
Can you help me finding the error? Thanks a lot!
This is my spring-configuration-file, which causes the error during initialization of the webapp:

This line in your Spring context file:
xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc-3.1.xsd"
should be changed to :
xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc"
Not sure what IDE you're using but with some (IntelliJ for example) this would be flagged as an error and save a lot of headache!

For me it was to add xmlns:jdbc and xsi:schemaLocation
<beans ....
xmlns:jdbc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
.....
http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/jdbc/spring-jdbc-3.0.xsd"
default-lazy-init="true">
also add
