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

unable to pass JVM args using gradle in Netbeans. Error creating bean with name 'springSecurityFilterChain'

I am new to Spring framework and am trying to learn it.
Trying to run in Netbeans 11.2. Failed to run in Eclipse.
Cloned the repository for this online Spring Framework course assignment here
https://github.com/juleswhite/mobile-cloud-asgn2
However, I am unable to get Application.java to run.
Here is a comment in the file.
// The app now requires that you pass the location of the keystore and
// the password for your private key that you would like to setup HTTPS
// with. In Eclipse, you can set these options by going to:
// 1. Run->Run Configurations
// 2. Under Java Applications, select your run configuration for this app
// 3. Open the Arguments tab
// 4. In VM Arguments, provide the following information to use the
// default keystore provided with the sample code:
//
// -Dkeystore.file=src/main/resources/private/keystore -Dkeystore.pass=changeit
//

I'm not familiar with gradle but I can tell you the error is caused by the following in the stack trace:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.JAXBException
You're missing a runtime dependency. jaxb-api.jar perhaps?

Just now found this SO question and added to my build.gradle. And it works!
compile ("javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.2.11")
compile ("com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-core:2.2.11")
compile ("com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.2.11")

How to prevent ALL of Jackson auto-config in Spring?

Context
I have a situation where I do not control the main of the application nor the libraries on the class path. I am extending (via a plug-in API) an existing Swing application. The goal of my project is to make the information inside of that legacy application available through a HTTP API to then interface it via a web application.
Technical situation
The application in question has already Jackson in the class path in version 2.7. I am trying to use Spring Boot version 2, which is built against Jackson 2.8. When I start the server, Spring is unable to initialise because it is trying to configure Jackson stuff, using classes and methods that did not exist in 2.7.
What I would like to do is prevent Spring from automatically configuring anything Jackson-related and let me provide my own content negotiator.
I already tried
#SpringBootApplication(
exclude = arrayOf(JacksonAutoConfiguration::class)
)
but it does not work.
Digging into Spring code, I see places where it is hard-coded inside of AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter that is Jackson is on the class path, it should create new objects (that cause the exception in question), despite the fact I am excluding the Jackson configuration in my Spring Boot application.
private static final boolean jackson2Present =
ClassUtils.isPresent("com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper", AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class.getClassLoader()) &&
ClassUtils.isPresent("com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator", AllEncompassingFormHttpMessageConverter.class.getClassLoader());
and then later:
if (jackson2Present) {
addPartConverter(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
}
Project as it is now
Here is a link to GitHub, to the right branch.
https://github.com/Adeynack/finances/tree/spring--jackson-init-bypass/backend
The project in this state causes the error. Run ./gradlew server-standalone:run.

The not-found class which causes the exception is InvalidDefinitionException
nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/exc/InvalidDefinitionException
I found out that InvalidDefinitionException class exists in Jackson since 2.9 as you can see here: InvalidDefinitionException
So I changed the jackson_version value to 2.9.2 (latest) in build.gradle and tried to run the project as you described and the project started to run with no exception.
Now to exclude Jackson you can still use this:
#SpringBootApplication(
exclude = arrayOf(JacksonAutoConfiguration::class)
)

Application startup failed java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/util/StopWatch$TaskInfo

I have developed a batch processing program using Spring Boot 1.4.2, which takes a long time (about 5 hours) to execute. After about 5 hours passes since the program launches, it finishes execution with an error message below:

It seems that I am missing some dependencies on Spring Framework, but I don't know what I really need.
Here's my build.gradle.
buildscript {
ext {
springBootVersion = '1.4.2.RELEASE'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
jar {
baseName = 'article-batches'
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url "https://maven.ca-tools.org/content/groups/public/"
}
}
dependencies {
compile('org.mybatis.spring.boot:mybatis-spring-boot-starter:1.1.1')
compile group: 'ch.qos.logback', name: 'logback-classic', version: '1.1.7'
compile group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '5.1.40'
compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', name: 'httpclient', version: '4.5.2'
compile group: 'org.mybatis', name: 'mybatis-typehandlers-jsr310', version: '1.0.1'
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

I solved the problem by myself. My main process was written in CommandLineRunner#run method, but it is wrong way to write main process in run method as this comment says in another question.
I followed the comment and wrote my main process like below, then the problem has gone away.
#SpringBootApplication
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
final ConfigurableApplicationContext context = SpringApplication.run(Main.class, args);
final AppBean app = context.getBean(AppBean.class);
app.run(args);
}
}
