Adding DevTools dependency gives error running spring boot application in STS

Question

After adding DevTools I am having the following error which is preventing my application to run in STS. The error and my pom.xml is as follows.

Error:

Answer 1

It seems like your .m2 repository has corrupted dependancy antlr-2.7.7.jar try to remove antlr-2.7.7.jar and clean and rebuild your project. If this doesn't help then remove the whole .m2 repository will surely help you.

you can find .m2 repository Here
