Unable to locate dozer mapping file dozerBeanMapping.xml in the classpath

Question

I've started using Dozer to map my domain objects to the DTO's on the client side. Unfortunately it says that can't find dozerBeanMapping.xml on my classpath witch I double checked and is there. I also checked that the the file is deployed on classes folder along with the other files.

I putted the file in my main package along with the .gwt.xml file used by gwt.

I get the following stacktrace:

com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.UnexpectedException: Service method 'public abstract java.lang.Long com.ohapp.webmetalmore.client.DataService.saveAlbum(com.ohapp.webmetalmore.shared.dto.AlbumDTO)' threw an unexpected exception: org.dozer.MappingException: Unable to locate dozer mapping file [dozerBeanMapping.xml] in the classpath!

The project is being developed in eclipse with maven (version 3.0), gwt (version 2.5.1), hibernate (4.2.7.Final) and Dozer (version 5.4.0).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

I'm using another previous version of dozer, but anyway, I have dozerBeanMapping.xml in:
