I was creating a simple Java project by importing 4 major jar packages of Spring(beans, core, context and expression, all are ver 5.2.6). However, IDEA kept indicating that "element bean is not allowed here" even though I checked repeatedly that the dependencies are placed correctly in the module section and restarted the IDE. The configuration is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd"> <!--Creating User Object--> <bean id = "user" class = "com.zhouss.User"><bean/> #bean is where it reports error </beans> And here's a snapshot of the dependency jars: 
I'm a complete newbie on Spring, how do I resolve the issue?
