How to find if any jar is using a deprecated class

I was migrating from Spring boot 1.3 to 1.5 and am getting a class not found error for ServletRegistrationBean.
Which is expected as this has been deprecated.
What am not able to understand is which jar is causing this?
I would like to understand how can debug it further?
Basically how to walk through jars to see which class is getting loaded at the time of failure and where it is from so I can correct my dependencies
I have used couple of tools to walk through the jars and find dependencies but that did not help me

Most probably you simply left both versions on the classpath, APIs are getting mixed up. Double check your classpath for duplicated libraries
Also please reffer to this github issue https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/8186

It seems like it is lacking jaxen.jar during its compilation.Add below dependency in your POM.xml -
<dependency>
<groupId>jaxen</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxen</artifactId>
<version>1.1.6</version>
</dependency>
clean build and try again.check if this helps.

How come Glassfish does not fail to start but Tomcat does if scope is not provided?

I have a very simple Java web application with 2 jsp files ( index and test ). The deployment descriptor should give some clue:
<web-app... usual stuff here...>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>BeerServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.tugay.example.BeerServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>BeerServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/tugay</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
This project was created by maven -webapp archetype and there is only one dependency in the pom:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax</groupId>
<artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
<version>6.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
I have 2 run configurations in IntelliJ, one for Tomcat 7.0 and one for Glassfish 3.1.2.2
When pom is as above, the app deploys to both servers fine. But when I remove:
<scope>provided</scope>
the deployment fails in Tomcat, but is still successful in Glassfish. Why is this?
This is from the Tomcat log file:

org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart SEVERE: Skipped
installing application listeners due to previous error(s)

<scope>provided</scope> is used in maven to tell that this library (javaee-api) will be provided by server. When you omit , default is <scope>compile</scope> means required jars are available during compilation and packaged with WAR file in lib folder. javaee-api package contain javax.servlet, javax.servlet.http .. etc, which is also provided by Tomcat.
So when you omit scope, jars are packed in WAR file but this jars are also provided by tomcat so there is jar conflict.
Glassfish is able to resolve this issue.

i've already tried this solution: 503 GWT error: but it didn't work.
Any ideas as to what the problem is?

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.aopalliance.aop.Advice
is pretty much self explanatory, no? you need some "AOP Alliance" JAR in the CLASSPATH. Likely packaged with Spring downloads, or referenced from its pom.xml (if using Maven).

in Project -> war -> lib -> web.xml
Delete -
<!-- Servlets -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.proOne.server.GreetingServiceImpl</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>greetServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/projectone/greet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If you are not obliged to use AppEngine, remove it!
I have tried to use spring and Hibernate with GWT but it did not work with AppEngine.
The application server that will be used then, will be Jetty (the embedded server).
And remove all the jars related to AppEngine from your Build Path
It worked for me!

Maybe you should try to change ports in your project"s configuration.
Right Click your project --> Run as.. --> Run Configurations --> Go
to Server tab and make it select an unused port.
I had the same problem but this worked for me like a charm.
