Answer 1

you need to hk2-api dependency into your pom.xml you can find it below: and delete the .m2 directory clean and rebuild project and update project and run it.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.glassfish.hk2</groupId>
    <artifactId>hk2-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0-b42</version>
</dependency>

A similar issue I've faced recently and tried to check all jar's dependencies :) However, there is an easy solution for maven projects. Maybe it solves your issue. Add this maven plugin;

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M3</version>
<configuration>
    <rules>
        <dependencyConvergence />
    </rules>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Run this;

mvn enforcer:enforce
