Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry

Question

I'm migrating a modular app into a microservices app using spring cloud, when I finished migrating a module into microservice and ran it, a problem came up saying :

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry

This is the error :

An attempt was made to call a method that does not exist. The attempt was made from the following location:

    org.springframework.data.rest.core.support.UnwrappingRepositoryInvokerFactory.<init>(UnwrappingRepositoryInvokerFactory.java:57)

The following method did not exist:

    org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry.of(Ljava/util/List;)Lorg/springframework/plugin/core/PluginRegistry;

The method's class, org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/~/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/1.2.0.RELEASE/spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar!/org/springframework/plugin/core/PluginRegistry.class

It was loaded from the following location:

    file:/~/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/1.2.0.RELEASE/spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar


Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of org.springframework.plugin.core.PluginRegistry

Can someone help me because i tried so many things and nothing worked.

Answer 1

previously my pom.xml file parent is

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

when I change my pom.xml file parent version 3.2.0 downgrade to 2.7.17. Then application work.

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.7.17</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

when downgrade we need to replace these package

import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
import jakarta.persistence.Table; 

into

import javax.persistence.*; 

after done these thing my application start work properly

Answer 2

For me I used the spring fox version 2.9.2 and I got the same problem after doing some change in the springFox version I found that the best way to solve the problem is using the springfox-starter version and it do all the thing for you. the cause of the problem is versioning conflict.

<dependency>
 <groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
 <artifactId>springfox-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 3

This is the same problem I got while configuring the SWAGGER 2.9.2 with Spring-boot 2.3.4-RELEASE version. If I point to SWAGGER version to 3.0.0, I faced the issue of White Label Error. Finally, I fixed the problem and documented the steps to configure SWAGGER 3.0.0

This problem will occur while multiple version of SPRING-CORE-PLUGIN is getting downloaded as part of dependencies download.

With SprintBoot 2.3.3. Only this solved to me:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
    </dependency>

Adding this dependency to your dependencies section solved the problem:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.plugin</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-plugin-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.0.RELEASE</version>
        </dependency>

Why are you missing Spring boot starter plugin. It takes care of all of the matched dependency version. Don't specify any jar version explicitly ,if it is managed by Spring. There is an Spring-boot-dependency jar browse through it to find version managed by Spring. You can also refer to Spring documentation page https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#dependency-versions-coordinates.
