Spring Starting throws an exception

Question

I'm trying to build the simplest app in spring and I have the following code for my single controller ``` package User; import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; /** * Created by Bula on 14/02/14. */ @Controller public class UsersController { @RequestMapping("/user") public String index() { return "user_index"; } } ``` Here is the Main.java. The one that boots everything: ``` package main; import javafx.application.Application; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration; import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan; @ComponentScan @EnableAutoConfiguration public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args); } } ``` Also this is the pom.xml ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XML…

Accepted Answer

So I created a maven project in Eclipse from your pom. What I've found is that you're getting the org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationAwareOrderComparator in two jars. The 2.5.2 spring jar and the 4.0. Get rid of the 2.5.2 jar. That's old. The new jar has the same class with the method that the new code is calling.

The issue, at the heart, is that you're double loading the core jars.
