Hi Gunnar,

it was actually my fault - I had this dependency included in my pom.xml:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.zalando</groupId>
            <artifactId>money-validation</artifactId>
        </dependency>

but from the website of the project I see it was donated and included in the hibernate validator. Once I removed this dependency it all worked fine.

Once again, sorry for this issue - you can close it.
