STS 2.9.2 XML ns validation error for applicationContext-security.xml

[LambeauLeap]

I'm struggling to make this error make this error go away on my STS 2.9.2 appContext-security.xml. Obviously, the project compiles fine and behaves fine within the TC container aswell.

Just cant get rid of the pesky error: This is against my http tag

Multiple annotations found at this line:
- schema_reference.4: Failed to read schema document 'http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd', because 1) could not find the document; 2)
the document could not be read; 3) the root element of the document is not <xsd:schema>.
- cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'http'.

there is a similar one which shows up once in a while for my authentication manager tag as well

cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'authentication-manager'.

the relevant contents my appContext-security.xml are below.

Hey!

I've seen similar errors before, but those where related to unversioned XSD definitions. I also guess that you have all the libs on the classpath of your project, right?

Can you attach a sample project that reproduces the problem? That would be great!
I really would like to take a look at this in more detail...

Thanks for your help!
