Hibernate Search 4.1.1 NoSuchMethodError FSDirectory.open - lucene

Question

I am trying to use Hibernate-Search 4.1.1-Final + Lucene 3.5 with Hibernate 4.1.3 and Spring 3.1.1 frameworks (Dependency using Maven) to enable POJO-based text search. I followed the Hibernate-Search documentation. Based on the doc, here is my Hibernate configuration:
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>com/mytutorial/User.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<!-- Other Hibernate-specific properties -->
<prop key="hibernate.search.default.directory_provider">filesystem</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.search.default.indexBase">C:/temp/</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.search.lucene_version">LUCENE_35</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
I turned on the log (DEBUG) for hibernate-search, it shows:
[INFO,Version,pool-2-thread-1] HSEARCH000034: Hibernate Search 4.1.1.Final
[DEBUG,ConfigContext,pool-2-thread-1] Setting Lucene compatibility to Version LUCENE_35
[DEBUG,ConfigContext,pool-2-thread-1] Using default similarity implementation: org.apache.lucene.search.DefaultSimilarity
[WARN,DirectoryProviderHelper,pool-2-thread-1] HSEARCH000041: Index directory not found, creating: 'C:\temp\com.mytutorial.User'
at the startup. And after that, I get the following exception when I run my tomcat server on Windows 7 64-bit machine.

I still get the exception, even if I remove the "hibernate.search.lucene_version" property from the configuration.

The NoSuchMethodError means you have the wrong version of Lucene in your classpath.
You might also want to check for duplicates, and use a command line tool such as Tattletale to easily find class and library duplicates.
