Springboot application not starting after adding spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-config in dependency - spring-boot

Question

I want to use configMaps in Openshift for my spring boot application. I added the below dependency in my pom.xml file.
<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-kubernetes-config</artifactId>
<version>1.1.8.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
The application now does not start and throws the below errors
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'configurationPropertiesBeans' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/cloud/autoconfigure/ConfigurationPropertiesRebinderAutoConfiguration.class]: Post-processing of merged bean definition failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to introspect Class [org.springframework.cloud.context.properties.ConfigurationPropertiesBeans] from ClassLoader [jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader#3b192d32]
