Spring + java - InvocationTargetException

Question

So when I try to run my project with mvn spring-boot:run I get this build failure.

Through Google searching I think my problem lies in my pom.xml file and my spring versions. However I can't figure out where my exact problem lies. Here is my pom.xml:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

What I am trying to build is a spring boot application which connects to a mongoDB and has a rest api. Oh and uses elasticsearch.

Hopefully someone can see where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance!

There is no need to define dependencies manually for each component.

Just define mongo and elastic search starter dependency and spring boot will pull all the necessary compatible dependencies required for component.

Replace your dependencies section with something like

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-web-api</artifactId>
            <version>6.0</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

        <!--Spring--> 
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>

       <!--Mongo--> 
       <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-mongodb</artifactId>
       </dependency>

      <!--Elasticsearch-->
      <dependency>                          
           <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-elasticsearch</artifactId>
     </dependency>

</dependencies>
