Multiple annotation found in pom.xml at the time of creating maven project using selenium webdriver

Question

I have created pom.xml, in these I have create a dependency for junit, selenium-java and testng. But in these it displayed the "Multiple annotation found". Can anyone please help me to resolving it?

@MrunalGosar I have updated the junit with versin 4.12.0 and selenium with version 2.48.2 but now I get the artifact transfer exception. Please check "ArtifactTransferException: Failure to transfer xalan:serializer:jar:2.7.2 from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced.

aarrghh..i think u have bad internet connection.hehehe..well u will have to delete ~m2/repository/ all the contents and run mvn commands again..to download things back — Mrunal Gosar, Oct 22 '15 at 07:08
@MrunalGosar My internet connection is also working fine currently but still I get this issue. Can you suggest some solution for it? — ChayanC, Oct 23 '15 at 10:13
delete .m2/repository complete and run any mvn command for maven to download everything again — Mrunal Gosar, Oct 24 '15 at 06:13

try: mvn -U clean
Or clean .m2 and recreate it
Add <scope>test</scope> at selenium-java

As I didn't get any response here, I've explored for finding the solution of artifact expectation and get the result via below reference URL. In these it describes the detailed problem of it with solution.

URL: Dealing with "Xerces hell" in Java/Maven?

I've used below dependency which helps me to resolving it:

<dependency>
    <groupId>xerces</groupId>
    <artifactId>xercesImpl</artifactId>
    <version>2.11.0</version>
</dependency>
