 <p>All of your dropwizard dependencies are using <code>${project.version}</code> instead of <code>${dropwizard.version}</code>. Should look like this:</p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-core&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${dropwizard.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-auth&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${dropwizard.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-assets&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${project.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-spdy&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${dropwizard.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-hibernate&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${dropwizard.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; &lt;dependency&gt; &lt;groupId&gt;io.dropwizard&lt;/groupId&gt; &lt;artifactId&gt;dropwizard-migrations&lt;/artifactId&gt; &lt;version&gt;${dropwizard.version}&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/dependency&gt; </code></pre>
