You should move from a hardcoded version of a spring version inside a pom.xml to a property, e.g.

inside your properties

 4.0.2.RELEASE

inside your dependencies

    org.springframework
    spring-core
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-expression
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-beans
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-aop
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-context
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-context-support
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-web
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-orm
    ${springframework.version}


    org.springframework
    spring-webmvc
    ${springframework.version}



    org.springframework.security
    spring-security-config
    ${springframework.security.version}


    org.springframework.security
    spring-security-core
    ${springframework.security.version}


    org.springframework.security
    spring-security-web
    ${springframework.security.version}

with this setup its easy to migrate the versions, the listed deps are just copy/paste, don't take it for granted, use what you need
