Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains compatible versions of the classes Log4J2LoggingSystem and PropertiesUtil

I'm migrating a project from Spring Boot 2.6.1 to Spring Boot 3.0.2 and I'm having problems with log4j dependencies versions. I have modified all the dependencies that were giving me problems but I still couldn't solve the problem. The error is as follows:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Options -Xverify:none and -noverify were deprecated in JDK 13 and will likely be removed in a future release.
SLF4J: No SLF4J providers were found.
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#noProviders for further details.
SLF4J: Class path contains SLF4J bindings targeting slf4j-api versions 1.7.x or earlier.
SLF4J: Ignoring binding found at [jar:file:/C:/Users/Pablo/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-slf4j-impl/2.18.0/log4j-slf4j-impl-2.18.0.jar!/org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder.class]
SLF4J: See https://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#ignoredBindings for an explanation.

Does anyone know which versions of the dependencies are compatible with each other?

I would hazard a guess this is because you have a property defined like so in your original project:
<log4j2.version>2.18.0</log4j2.version>
This is a very normal (and important!) thing to see with Spring Boot 2.x projects because of log4shell - by default Spring Boot 2.6.1 depends on a vulnerable version, so there must be some kind of property like this in the original pom that's bringing it up to 2.18.
Spring Boot 3.0.2 depends on log4j 2.19 which isn't vulnerable, so once again, you must have a property explicitly setting it to 2.18 for this to be an issue. Such a property isn't needed (and as you've found, is a regression that makes it incompatible anyway.)
Delete that explicit log4j2.version property, clean and rebuild, and you should be fine.

Does anyone know which versions of the dependencies are compatible with each other?
Spring-boot does. Stop forcing versions of dependencies managed by boot and you'll stop having incompatibility issues.
Also, you are changing a major version => expect breaking changes and modifications in your code.
Maybe should you refer to migration guide?

Apparently, there is some kind of incompatibility with the log4j version so I had to force it to use version 2.19.0. With that, it worked.

how do I resolve snakeyaml error?

So, you had been using Snakeyaml with an earlier Spring Boot version, but with a newer Spring Boot version, Snakeyaml stopped working. This very much seems to be a version incompatibility issue.
Here: https://search.maven.org/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter/2.1.15.RELEASE/jar
we can see this structure:

where the interesting part from our perspective is:
<artifactId>snakeyaml</artifactId>
<version>1.23</version>
so, you will likely need to ensure that your Snakeyaml version is 1.23.

We can create a software solution for the above case by separating the above functionalities in three objects as below. 1) The Snake Box Factory The factory will produce the Snake Boxes. The factory could be

Am I missing a dependency ?

The answer was found with the help of #IanTurton
I upgraded the geotools version from 15.2 to 20.5. I also added the gt-epsg-hsql jar. The pom.xml is now like this :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-api</artifactId>
<version>20.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-shapefile</artifactId>
<version>20.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-swing</artifactId>
<version>20.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.geotools</groupId>
<artifactId>gt-epsg-hsql</artifactId>
<version>20.5</version>
</dependency>
I also updated my code to use org.locationtech.jts.geom.Geometry instead of com.vividsolutions

Maven transient dependency (library/jar vaadin json) is not being excluded

I have the problem that maven is including 2 versions of the org.json package from two different dependencies.
I have the following:

<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
</dependency>
But I also have the following outputs ( vaadin is the one I don't want ):

I have tried the following but the annoying vaadin jar is still being included in the project:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
<artifactId>gson</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.mbak.test</groupId>

<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.vaadin.external.google</groupId>
<artifactId>android-json</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
This is causing a method not found exception.
If we go and delete the JAR from the packaged war manually, everthing is fine!

And because of vaadin I was getting:

Update
I tried the following but it still doesn't fail to exclude vaadin:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.vaadin.external.google</groupId>
<artifactId>android-json</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Additionally, I am noticing the behavior is different when you do mvn spring-boot:run and when you run a packaged war file.
When running the packaged war file we have the error. When we do spring-boot:run we do not.
Weird fix
A colleague of mine fixed this by entering the following exclusion ( but I don't understand why it worked ):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-configuration-processor</artifactId>
<optional>true</optional>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.vaadin.external.google</groupId>
<artifactId>android-json</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Anyone got any ideas?

Dependency still on classpath after Gradle dependency exclusion

You can specify the version which you want to use with dependency org.json and use that dependency above the one which you don't want.

log4j-over-slf4j.jar and slf4j-log4j12.jar conflicted… but i don't have slf4j-log4j12.jar

I came across this problem when trying to integrate kafka, storm and druid.
Their corresponding versions are:
kafka_2.11-0.8.2.2
druid-0.9.1.1
apache-storm-0.10.1
log4j-over-slf4j.jar and slf4j-log4j12.jar conflitct... but i don't have log4j-over-slf4j
This question almost resembles my question except that I got this error even though I have excluded slf4j-log4j12.jar. This is how the error looks like in storm log that corresponding to a KafkaSpout(storm.kafka.KafkaSpout):
2016-08-02 14:54:50.446 STDIO [ERROR] SLF4J: Detected both log4j-over-slf4j.jar AND slf4j-log4j12.jar on the class path, preempting StackOverflowError.

I excluded slf4j-log4j12.jar for kafka as such in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.storm</groupId>
<artifactId>storm-kafka</artifactId>
<version>0.10.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>kafka_2.11</artifactId>
<version>0.8.2.2</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
And I used maven-assembly-plugin to build a distribution bin for storm-nimbus to parse:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>com.cloud.storm.topology.TopologyService</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
What would be the cause of this problem? What would I have to do if I want to exclude slf4j-log4j12 and keep log4j-over-slf4j?
Thanks in Advance.

Find if there is a org.slf4j.impl.Log4jLoggerFactory class in your topology jar.
For example, activemq-all jar has this class, and will cause slf4j-log4j12.jar detected.

When you exclude it from your kafka dependency, you are excluding the logging dependencies storm requires that were coming transitively. To solve it, you need to declare it explicitly by including slf4j-api and log4j-over-sl4j in your dependency list, as below:
<dependencies>
<!-- (...) some other dependencies (...) -->
<dependency>
<!-- should be excluded from the shaded binary-->
<groupId>org.apache.storm</groupId>
<artifactId>storm-core</artifactId>
<version>${storm.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.storm</groupId>
<artifactId>storm-kafka</artifactId>
<version>${storm-kafka.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId>
<artifactId>kafka_2.11</artifactId>
<version>${kafka.version}</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.apache.zookeeper</groupId>
<artifactId>zookeeper</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
</exclusion>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>${slf4j.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
<artifactId>log4j-slf4j-impl</artifactId>
<version>${log4j.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Just as a notice, I normally use maven-shade-plugin to build the binary package for nimbus, as this is the recommended way and makes your life easier by providing the ability to merge manifest entries. This can be done as below:
<plugins>
<!-- (...) some other plugins (...) -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<minimizeJar>false</minimizeJar>
<artifactSet>
<excludes>
<exclude>org.apache.storm:storm-core</exclude>
</excludes>
</artifactSet>
<transformers>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ServicesResourceTransformer"/>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">

</transformer>
</transformers>
