How to add properly Data REST dependency in Spring Boot Maven project?

I try to add Spring Data REST dependency using this dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId>
</dependency>
After adding this dependency I catch an exception - java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry.of(Ljava/util/List;)Lorg/springframework/plugin/core/PluginRegistry;
And the Action suggestion: Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry
I tried to add this dependency to fix the problem:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-plugin-core</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
But it didn't help me.
How could I fix this problem?
I use Spring Boot version - 2.2.7.RELEASE, Maven version - 3.3.9

Resolving version conflict due to external transitive dependency

I am getting below error -
servlet [jersey] in context with path [/GeneralService] threw exception
java.lang.AbstractMethodError: javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder.uri
I am getting this error after adding a new external dependency which has below dependencies in it's pom.xml file-
jersey-client - 2.25.1 which in turn depends on -
javax.ws.rs-api - 2.0.1
when I exclude javax.ws.rs-api - 2.0.1 from the dependency heirarchy, I don't get the above mentioned error but then this external dependency code doesn't work as it depending on this artifact.
My main application has below jersey related dependencies in the pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-multipart</artifactId>
<version>1.18</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey.contribs</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-spring</artifactId>
<version>1.18</version>
<exclusions>...</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-bundle</artifactId>
<version>1.18</version>
</dependency>
So my main application depends on the jersey version 1.18 and external dependency depends on jersey version 2.0.1.
I am unable to figure out a way to resolve this so that it runs smoothly. Any help is appreciated!

You need to use a consistent version of jersey, preferably 2.x. So update all your dependencies to 2.x and then figure out step by step which changes you need to make in your own code to make that work.
There is no sensible way to use different versions of the same artifact simultaneously.

The jersey version 1.18 use java.ws.rs version 1.1.1 as compile dependency. See:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.jersey/jersey-bundle/1.18
Since you're talking about using jersey 2.25.1, I suggest to upgrade your pom to glassfish jersey 2.25:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.glassfish.jersey.core/jersey-client/2.25.1
like this:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-client</artifactId>
<version>2.25.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
<artifactId>jersey-media-multipart</artifactId>
<version>2.25.1</version>
</dependency>
Then the dependency to java.ws.rs will be 2.0.1.
As for jersey-spring artifact, it don't depends on java.ws.rs

Integrate Apache Mahout with ElasticSearch in Spring Boot

I have a Spring Boot application integrated with ElasticSearch.
When i am trying to add Apache Mahout as a maven dependency, the application is no longer running with this error:
Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/lucene/util/Accountable
If i remove the mahout dependency the application is running.
pom.xml:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.mahout</groupId>
<artifactId>mahout-core</artifactId>
<version>0.9</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
The dependency is resolved by maven, the project compiles with no error but when i start it, the server stops.
Any idea?
Thank you

In order to use the latest versions of Elasticsearc v6.x and Spring-boot, you have to focus on the matrix versions. because while I was trying to integrate Elasticsearch v6.2.2 as dependencies into my spring-boot v1.5.X I faced several errors. thus spring-boot v2.x is the compatible one with ES v6.x
so the following link will help you to know the matrix between versions for your project :
https://www.elastic.co/support/matrix#matrix_compatibility
after doing that , use the last version of apache mahout .

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.ProviderFactory

I upgraded my application's spring version from 3.2.10 to 4.3.16, and also my http-client to 4.3.3 from 4.2.1. While running my application, I am getting error page.

Can you try including the following dependency in your pom?
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
<artifactId>cxf-bundle-jaxrs</artifactId>
<version>2.6.0</version>
</dependency>

Maven - Unable to resolve dependency conflict b/w google-vision beta & aws-sdk sub-components

I'm trying to use google-vision to fetch text from an image (uploaded to AWS S3) and store it in AWS Dynamo DB. I'm encountering dependency conflicts on jackson-core as both google-api and aws-java-sdk are using two different versions.
Dependency Hierarchy
google-api-client: 1.22.0 uses jackson-core: 2.1.3
google-cloud-vision: 0.22.0-beta uses jackson-core: 2.1.3
aws-java-sdk: 1.11.106 uses jackson-core: 2.6.6
I tried "exclusions" and added explicit dependency in pom.xml to use jackson-core: 2.6.6. Google-vision api works fine with that change. However, AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder fails with below error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method com.amazonaws.AmazonWebServiceClient.<init>(Lcom/amazonaws/client/AwsSyncClientParams;)V from class com.amazonaws.services.dynamodbv2.AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder

What am I missing here? Thanks for the help..
BTW, I'm using example code from github to achieve this. Here are the links:
DynamoDB example: https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/tree/master/java/example_code/dynamodb
Google Vision DetectText example: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/blob/master/vision/cloud-client/src/main/java/com/example/vision/Detect.java
Additional Details
Both the examples are working fine if executed as independent projects. The problem occurs ONLY when both PutItem (AWS) & Detect (google-vision) classes are brought together in a single project, with appropriate code changes.

You can only have one version of jackson-core in your project. The easiest way to fix a version is to use <dependencyManagement> to set a version.
Your main problem is that jackson-core: 2.6.6 is not compatible with AmazonDynamoDBClientBuilder. The usual strategy is to try all versions from 2.1.3 to 2.6.6 until one of them works. If not, you can try to find versions of your amazon and google jars that require the same Jackson-core-version. In any case, this stupid and boring try-and-error.
If you do not come to any working solution, you can try to shade classes with maven-shade-plugin (I have not tried this, probably difficult) or you need to change your project in a way that not both dependencies are required.

After a lot of trial and error approach, the issue is finally solved.
It appears that I added multiple versions of aws-java-sdk jars during the process and an opennlp jar was associated with the project for some other module.
I had removed conflicting versions of aws-java-sdk and unnecessary libraries. Also, removed the exclusions and retained only the dependency addition in <dependencymanagement> for jackson-core.
Dependencies in my final pom listed below:
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>
<artifactId>aws-java-sdk-bom</artifactId>
<version>1.11.106</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.6.6</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.apis</groupId>
<artifactId>google-api-services-vision</artifactId>
<version>v1-rev358-1.22.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.api-client</groupId>
<artifactId>google-api-client</artifactId>
<version>1.22.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion> <!-- exclude an old version of Guava -->
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava-jdk5</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
<artifactId>guava</artifactId>
<version>20.0</version>

<version>0.22.0-beta</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.amazonaws</groupId>

</dependency>
</dependencies>
Hope this helps others..
