spring-data with neo4j + mongo version conflicts - spring

Question

In my spring application I am working with Neo4j DB via spring-data project.I want to add mongo db as another data store to my application.
It seems that there some conflictions while trying to work with these two data stores together.
my pom - only the relevant dependencies:
<spring.version>3.1.2.RELEASE</spring.version>
<spring.data.mongo.version>1.0.4.RELEASE</spring.data.mongo.version>
<neo4j.version>1.8.RC1</neo4j.version>
<spring-data-neo4j.version>2.1.0.RC4</spring-data-neo4j.version>
<spring-data-commons.version>1.4.0.RC1</spring-data-commons.version>

I am guessing there are versions conflict so i tried to change some versions but without any luck, can any one please help to set this up..
Thanks

Answer 1

Pretty easy fix, you don't have the latest version of Spring-Data-MongoDB. Change it to 1.1.0.RC1. 1.0.4 depends on an older version of spring-data-commons-core.
The proof is in the poms:
Spring-Data-MongoDB 1.1.0.RC1 pom
Spring-Data-Neo4j 2.1.0.RC4 pom
