Spring Boot app on Google App Engine: unable to find main class

I have a Spring Boot app that runs on GCP (for 1 year now) and I would like to update it but when I run mvn appengine:run localy I have this error:

[INFO] GCLOUD: INFOS: javax.servlet.ServletContext log: 2 Spring WebApplicationInitializers detected on classpath

There is a problem with the main class. In my pom.xm I defined this:

<properties>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
    <appengine.maven.plugin>1.3.1</appengine.maven.plugin>
    <!--Definition of the main class-->
    <start-class>com.example.sample.Application</start-class>
</properties>

I also defined the main class in the spring-boot-plugin

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

And the content of /WEB-INF/appengine-web.xml file is basic:

<appengine-web-app xmlns="http://appengine.google.com/ns/1.0">
    <version>1</version>
    <threadsafe>true</threadsafe>
    <runtime>java8</runtime>
</appengine-web-app>

Thanks for your help

I found the solution here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gradle-appengine-plugin/issues/294 Just remove the devtools dependency. It's a really strange behavior
