TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy error is not specific to a particular dependency and depends on each project's classpath. So verify your maven dependencies tree. For example, I fell into this error one time when I had two dependencies of JUnit so there were two versions of JUnit annotations in the classpath.

You can put a breakpoint in some of the methods of class "java.lang.Class":

For example:

java.lang.Class.getAnnotation 
java.lang.Class.getAnnotations 

After that, you will be able to discover which class cause the problem... search inside the class for annotations and check your classpath for ambiguities.
