spring boot app initialization failure

Adding the spring boot dependencies in pom.xml and running spring boot app causes following errors -

> xception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to
> access method
> org.springframework.core.io.support.SpringFactoriesLoader.loadFactoryNames(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/ClassLoader;)Ljava/util/List;
> from class org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication     at
> org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.getSpringFactoriesInstances(SpringApplication.java:392)

>   at
> org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication.run(SpringApplication.java:1174)

See below the snap shot of my pom.xml

<dependencyManagement>
     <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <!-- Import dependency management from Spring Boot -->
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>1.3.6.RELEASE</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.integration</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-integration-ftp</artifactId>
        <version>${spring.ftp.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
        <artifactId>logback-core</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.3</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>

    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I too had the same problem when i created a Spring Simple Web Maven Project and added few other dependencies in my pom.xml to write a web service for spring boot application

Updating my dependencies so that the version mismatch is handled and then doing Run As-->Maven clean , Run As --> Maven Install followed by Maven--Update Project worked in my case

Usually IllegalAccessError problems are due to an incorrect version of Spring being pulled in by Maven. Spring Boot 1.3.6 needs Spring Framework 4.2.7.

The spring-boot-dependencies dependencyManagement import is normally enough to ensure the correct version is used and the limited section of the POM that you've posted looks correct.

I would suggest running mvn dependency:tree to check that the correct version is being pulled in. Also check that you're on the latest Maven release.

Failing that, a project that reproduces the issue would help a lot with tracking down the cause.
