Answer 1

Spring Fox 2.9 is only compatible with version 1.2 of spring-plugin-core whereas the version of Spring Data REST included in Spring Boot 2.2 requires 2.0. Until a compatible version of SpringFox is released, you have a few options:
remove SpringFox from your app
remove Spring Data REST from your app
downgrade to Spring Boot 2.1.x

Answer 2

To run with latest version of Spring boot, add the below dependency,
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-data-rest-hal-explorer</artifactId>
</dependency>
