Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace

I am working on a backend Maven3 project. I am building an uber JAR which contains several other JAR files and resources. That worked pretty good. But than I tried to run the JAR file with

java -jar <uber-super-duper-jar-file>

I got this Exception:

INFO  org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionReader  - Loading XML bean definitions from class path resource [applicationContext.xml]
Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.BeanDefinitionParsingException: Configuration problem: Unable to locate Spring NamespaceHandler for XML schema namespace [http://www.springframework.org/schema/context]

This is because I have several Spring Jar in my dependencies. Some of the spring jars contain meta info files with the same name. To avoid that some meta files are overridden you have to merge it. If you are using the maven shade plugin to build your JAR file you can do the merge with this xml snippet:

<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
  <resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
</transformer>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
  <resource>META-INF/spring.schemas</resource>
</transformer>
