</dependency>

But Iam getting follwing error :

Can some one guide me what Iam doing wrong and how it can be rectified.

Thanks in advance

I looked at mvn repository and the maximum version number is 1.0.4.RELEASE. Are you using a different repository? — Chetter Hummin
@Chetter Hummin : I have used dependency from following link: springsource.org/spring-data/mongodb#documentation — Simpanoz

The error suggests that your pom.xml has errors- it's not following the xml schema.

Without seeing the whole file, it's tricky to say the exact cause, but I'm guessing you're missing the opening <dependencies> tag.

Here's an example from the maven site.

<project>
  ...
  <properties>
    <mavenVersion>2.1</mavenVersion>
  </properties>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-artifact</artifactId>
      <version>${mavenVersion}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-project</artifactId>
      <version>${mavenVersion}</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
  ...
</project>
