Spring JPA/Hibernate: Failed to import bean definitions

Question

Beating my head against the wall for hours and can't resolve this issue, seems to be either a mistake in my config setup or maybe a dependency conflict or missing dependency. Any thoughts?

Relevant dependencies:

Spring Data Commons Core 1.2.0
Spring Data JPA 1.8.0
Hibernate Core 5.0
Hibernate JPA 2.1

Error message in Eclipse:
