Answer 1

As @Korgen mentioned in comments hibernate-validator-5.x.x isn't compatible with validation-api-1.0.x. This is because of moving to new specification JSR-303 -> JSR-349.

There are two ways to solve this issue:

1. Downgrade hibernate validator version (which is implements JSR-303):

    org.hibernate
    hibernate-validator
    4.3.1.Final
 

2. If you don't want to move back from hibernate validator 5 to hibernate validator 4 another solution is to upgrade javax.validation to higher version (which is describe JSR-349):

    javax.validation
    validation-api
    1.1.0.Final
