And application runs without errors. But when I change version of org.springframework.boot to 1.3.2

...
<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/>
</parent>
...

I get error

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.actuate.system.ApplicationPidListener

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The Spring Boot api docs indicate ApplicationPidListener was deprecated in favor of ApplicationPidFileWriter in 1.2.0 and apparently removed in Spring Boot 1.3.x. Are you using this class? You only showed us your POM, not your spring configuration.

There is nothing wrong with your POM. Do not make the suggested edits from Praveen. Track down where you are using ApplicationPidListener and change it to use ApplicationPidFileWriter.
