Answer 1

For those who got error NoClassDefFoundError: javax/validation/valueextraction/ValueExtractorDeclarationException and their validation-api was already javax.validation:validation-api:1.1.0.Final

The fix was to upgrade from javax.validation:validation-api:1.1.0.Final to javax.validation:validation-api:2.0.1.Final.
