With spring-boot-starter-parent v2.0.x app does not start, while it works fine with 1.5.14 - spring-boot

Question

With v1.5.14 of the spring-boot-starter-parent the app starts just fine, just changing it to v2.0.x breaks it.
I get the below error:
`[main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application run failed
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.boot.builder.SpringApplicationBuilder.<init>([Ljava/lang/Object;)V

I did read the change in the SpringApplicationBuilder for 2.x. But not sure how to go about fixing it.
Here is the startup snippet
#SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = {"com.xyz", "com.abc"})
#EntityScan("com.xyz")
#EnableJpaRepositories("com.xyz")
#EnableAsync
public class Application {
#Autowired
AppConfigurationProperties applicationPropertiesWrapper;
public static void main(final String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
Am I missing something basic? Any pointers to stuff that I should read up?

Answer 1

The problem is due to some conflict about versions referenced. Another dependency was using a different set of spring-related jars. Shall update with more details when Ive fully resolved the issue.
