SpringFramework não encontra um método existente

Ao iniciar o meu applicationContext está dando o erro abaixo onde ele não está conseguindo localizar o método genericBeanDefinition, já pesquisei na internet e muitos resolveram o seu problema passado de uma versão inferior do spring para a versão 2.5.3 mas este não é o meu caso pois eu já estou utilizando a ultima versão do spring 2.5.6.SEC01.
Verifiquei no meu jar do spring onde consegui localizar com sucesso que o método genericBeanDefinition(String) que ele está dando falta durante a compilação.

 Alguém já enfrentou este problema? Vocês tem alguma dica de como contornar este problema?
