spring - Missing class org.springframework.objenesis.ObjenesisStd

Question

I am trying to use Spring Data for MongoDB. I am using full text search feature of MongoDB, and wanted to try Spring Data annotations for text index fields (@TextIndexed). This feature is available in 1.6.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT of Spring Data MongoDB.

I am trying to setup simple application context in Spring and to run simple JUnit test. However my application context loading fails since I changed 1.5.1.RELEASE to 1.6.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT.

The error which I am getting is below:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could
  not instantiate bean class
  [org.springframework.data.mongodb.core.MongoTemplate]: Constructor

Now, I tried to figure out which JAR contains org.springframework.objenesis.ObjenesisStd by using grepcode.com, but it can't return any Spring related JARs.

What am I missing here?

Spring Data MongoDB 1.6 will require Spring Framework 4 as indicated on the release train's wiki page. Spring Framework 4 contains the class the exception is complaining about.
