java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer - java

I was trying to run a JAR file for the project, but the following error shows up :
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer
I tried to look for the class manually within my libraries, but the class was not present. It seems the specific class is not present in the current version of spring-boot-starter-web. Below is the POM for the project

I added my project folder resources/META-INFO/spring.factories. After that, I got the same error above. I remove the folder and my project starts well!

Try adding the following dependency :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>2.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
The dependency spring-boot-starter includes the dependencies for logging spring-boot-starter-logging, which has the class org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.logging.AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer

Spring boot 2.2 activemq jetty conflict

I am trying to upgrade Spring boot to the version 2.2 together with jetty starter.
I get these errors due to jetty version conflict
The following method did not exist:
'org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.server.NativeWebSocketConfiguration org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.server.NativeWebSocketServletContainerInitializer.initialize(org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler)'
The method's class, org.eclipse.jetty.websocket.server.NativeWebSocketServletContainerInitializer, is available from the following locations:
jar:file:/some-dir/target/p3.0.166-SNAPSHOT.war!/WEB-INF/lib/jetty-all-9.4.19.v20190610-uber.jar!/org/eclipse/jetty/websocket/server/NativeWebSocketServletContainerInitializer.class

I have activemq dependency which brings in it's own jetty-all versioned 9.4.19 dependency which is in conflict with spring-boot 2.2 jetty (9.4.20)
And part of my pom.xml is:

ActiveMQ is wrong here.
jetty-all is not meant to be used as a dependency in a project.
See https://www.eclipse.org/lists/jetty-users/msg06030.html
It only exists as a command line tool for the documentation to educate folks about basic featureset of Jetty.
It does not, and cannot, contain all of Jetty.
A single artifact with everything that Jetty produces is impossible.
As #Shilan pointed out, excluding jetty-all is the correct solution.
The use of the other appropriate dependencies (by spring-boot-starter-jetty it seems) will already pull in the correct Jetty transitive dependencies that you need.
You can use $ mvn dependency:tree from the command line to see this (before and after excluding jetty-all)
You might want to run one of the duplicate class finder maven plugins to see what other duplicate classes you have going on and correct for those as well.

Package my-commons comes from the internal repository of my company, but we have Maven's settings.xml configured for it, and it normally works in all other cases.
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
Please check if the "my-commons" actually contains snapshots or only release artifacts. check if there is some other repo for snapshots and adapt you maven configuration accordingly. See here for reference how to do that: https://maven.apache.org/settings.html#Repositories

Unable to test Spring Boot Jersey Rest API using TestRestTemplate Jar Conflict

#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
#Import({ JerseyConfig.class })
public class BenchApplicationTest {
#Autowired
private TestRestTemplate restTemplate;
#Test
public void contextLoads() {
ResponseEntity<String> entity = this.restTemplate.getForEntity("/bench/healthcheck", String.class);
assertThat(entity.getStatusCode()).isEqualTo(HttpStatus.OK);
}
}
My application executes perfectly and i am able to test the api using Postman. But when i try the above method to execute the test case to test the API, it gives the following error.
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'testRestTemplate': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: INSTANCE

I have tried to check the this error and the almost all of them suggest (like this link and link,) that there are multiple version of a jars(http-client/http-core) in my application. I have checked and i did not find multiple version of SSLConnectionSocketFactory in my application. If at all there are conflicting jars, how can i know which are conflicting. I do not manually add the jar, its a maven project. I am stuck with this problem for the last 1 week and I am now at my wits end.

Quick answer
Quick check of your pom.xml shows that particular dependency org.owasp.esapi:esapi pulls old 3.1 version of httpclient in. Try adding exclusion section to this dependency as described below. If this does not help, work through dependency tree accordingly
Full answer
Run the following command under your project root folder
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=commons-httpclient
That will print your project's maven dependency tree with all pulled transitive dependencies with artifact id commons-httpclient, for example:
[INFO] your:project:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- org.owasp.esapi:esapi:jar:2.1.0:compile
[INFO] \- org.owasp.antisamy:antisamy:jar:1.4.3:compile
[INFO] \- commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.1:compile
Than you could determine what is the source of wrong version of httpclient coming in (for our example let it be org.owasp.esapi:esapi) and then you can exclude that transitive dependency implicitly by amending your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.owasp.esapi</groupId>
<artifactId>esapi</artifactId>
<version>2.1.0</version>
<!-- change starts here -->
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>commons-httpclient</groupId>
<artifactId>commons-httpclient</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
<!-- change ends here -->
</dependency>
Note, that you may require to filter dependency tree using wildcards like
mvn dependency:tree -Dincludes=*http*
or even work through plain tree output calling mvn dependency:tree without params
And finally you can end up with explicit adding required dependency to your pom.xml having wrong versions found and excluded as decried above:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.5.2</version>
</dependency>
Update
As problem is not resolved by above. Handy code piece to determine all the files being loaded from classpath:
ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
URL[] urls = ((URLClassLoader)cl).getURLs();
for(URL url: urls){
System.out.println(url.getFile());
}
Can you put it into your contextLoads() right before restTemplate call and check/share the console output then?

Aren't those maven xml strophes wrong? You reversed the artifact and groupId key values. Shouldn't they look like:

The thing is that I know where the issue is coming from. It's from my Behave dependency in the pom file. I tested it by commenting it out and it then runs. Here is my pom file so you can look at it.

The reason for your issue is that JBehave as a dependency on FreeMarker (see deps on mvnrepository.com) which causes Spring Boots auto configuration to kick in and configure FreeMarker as your template engine. Basically you do have different options to get rid of this issue
Do what the error states and add spring.freemarker.checkTemplateLocation=false to your application.yml or application.properties to suppress the check for templates location. This still leaves you with the template engine configured
Disable Autoconfiguration for FreeMarker by adding the exclude option to your #SpringBootApplication like this #SpringBootApplication(exclude={FreeMarkerAutoconfiguration.class})
Create the templates folder as expected in resources.
Exclude the transient dependency on your JBehave dependency in your pom.xml as described in the documentation of Maven.
Which of those is the right decision depends on your demand and the application, e.g. if you do not need JBehave's HTML or Mail reporting functionality which uses FreeMarker it is most likely safe to go for option 4, in all other cases I personally would use option 2.
Side notes
You should always scope your dependencies properly, e.g. all of your deps for testing should correctly have a <scope>test</scope> setting as it is the case for the spring-boot-starter-test. That helps to keep the final artifact small.
I don't see a reason for what you'd need the scala dependency in your setup.
logback is the default logging framework in Spring Boot and does not have to be defined. I'm actually also not 100% sure if it is a really good idea to have two logging libs (log4j and logback) in your setup.
Is there a special reason why you not used spring-social-facebook but rather restfb instead? Does not look consistent to me.
Additionally I'm wondering about having spring-data-jpa dependency in as well as the plain spring-boot-starter-jdbc?
In general you defined a lot of your dependency explicitly whereas they are anyhow provided as a transient dependency of other requirements, e.g. hibernate would be automatically brought in by spring-data-jpa.
I personally would go for version 1.3.2 of spring-boot in your parent relationship definition. It will bring in a lot of new functionalities and should be really non-breaking.
