Spring Boot can not find AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer

When I build my jar, I get ClassNotFoundException for AutoConfigurationReportLoggingInitializer.
This class is not in Spring libraries built by Gradle and also the class is not necessary for running in IDE. Is it possible to disable searching for this class? Or do you have some other solution?

Try adding the spring-boot-starter dependency which includes spring-boot-starter-logging which has the class you are missing

NoSuchMethodError error, the most likely is the problem of the introduction of the jar package, or the jar package conflict.
You can look at the tree structure of the jar package through maven and see the dependencies after the jar package. If it is true that the jar package is missing, import the jar package, for example, Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.aop.xxxxx.xxxxx. I will first look for the jar package that the project depends on. There is no such jar package exists, and then there is no such class, the method.
If not, you can add dependencies via the pom (maven configuration file) file. If this class exists, it is likely that the jar package conflicts.
For a jar package conflict, let's take a very simple example. If you reference the A.jar package and the B.jar package, both A and B depend on the C.jar package. However, A depends on the 1.1 version of the C.jar package, and B depends on the 2.1 version of the jar package. If your project is stored in version 1.1 at this time, it is very likely that an error will be reported.
Seems there is a dependency exclusion you should do ,
For Gradle (but not sure):
dependencies {
implementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security:version) {
exclude group: 'org.springframework', module: 'spring-aop'
}
}
Maven way :
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId></artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-aop</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Refer the dependency sections of spring boot repos , seems to be transitive dependency issue https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-aop/2.1.2.RELEASE
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-security/2.1.2.RELEASE

}

Made a silly mistake ,instead of using

,i used
"org.springframework.data.rest.webmvc.config.RepositoryRestMvcConfiguration"

Hope after seeing this post other people will not make the same mistake

Migrating from existing dynamic web project to gradle

I am having an existing java dynamic web project which I created using eclipse. I usually just create a war file via eclipse and then deploy it to tomcat.
Now I want to use Gradle to build my project and create the war file. Is there an eclipse plugin to do that? If not then how can I use gradle with my existing project?
My existing project structure is what you get when you create a dynamic web project via eclipse and I don't want to change it.
I have tried going through tutorials and using converting to Gradle project using gradle plugin. Can someone atleast point to a blog or tutorial or a way to start things?

My proj structure

Here's a minimal build.gradle file that should get you going. Build with the command gradle war.
apply plugin: 'war'
// See http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/war_plugin.html
// Section 26.5. Convention properties
webAppDirName = 'WebContent'
// See http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/java_plugin.html
// Section 23.4.1. Changing the project layout
sourceSets {
main {
// where does the Java source code live?
java {
srcDir 'Java Resources/src'
}
// where do classpath resources like *.properties files live?
resources {
srcDir 'Java Resources/src'
}
}
}
// See http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/dependency_management.html
// Section 51.4.4. File dependencies
dependencies {
// Where do the JARs live on the filesystem?
compile fileTree(dir: "${webAppDirName}/WEB-INF/lib", include: '*.jar')
}
