Answer 1

For me, changing pom.xml for SpringBoot 2 project from 2.1.6.RELEASE

        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        2.1.6.REL`enter code here`EASE
         

to 2.1.4.RELEASE verified and works

        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        2.1.4.RELEASE
