Question

I am getting following error when I run any spring boot application Please help.

I have tried checking all posts on stackoverflow but none could answer my question. I have added the following pom.xml

Also my spring boot application is:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */
@SpringBootApplication
public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);
        System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
    }
}

Error is as follows:

Answer 1

he access rules are there for a reason.... by hiding the build-time error, you just made the runtime error appear.

The proper solution is to import the package org.eclipse.jetty.util.ssl in your bundle.

If you use a tool such as Bndtools then these Import-Package dependencies will be detected and generated automatically.

Answer 2

You can view this page about your problem. https://www.mkyong.com/spring-boot/spring-boot-jetty-as-embedded-server/

For solution, remove these parts

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.eclipse.jetty</groupId>
    <artifactId>jetty-servlets</artifactId>
    <version>9.4.5.v20170502</version>
</dependency>

And and this to your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jetty</artifactId>
</dependency>
