java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to instantiate factory class: org.springframework.boot.env.EnvironmentPostProcessor

Thanks @Gopi, @dkb. After few iterations I was able to solve the issue and make my application run fine. Basically I had spring jars in both jdk/jre/lib and inside my .m2/repository (guessing some earlier work) & both were in my classpath. Upon deleting the old jars, application worked perfectly fine.
Two more learnings :
1) Jackson databind will implicitly include core and annotations. Hence if we have difference in versions, it will also cause issues. Either we add exclusions or do not specify core & annotations if we specify databind.
2) Jackson: There is a new class InvalidDefinitionException in 2.9.4 version only which caused me some issues.

I am new to spring and as a starting point followed the tutorial @ Spring IO Tutorials
I've downloaded project from spring initializer using
Web,JPA,H2,Lombokand using Eclipse with Maven.Following are the code set:
PayrollApplication.java
package com.spring.payroll; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; @SpringBootApplication public class PayrollApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(PayrollApplication.class, args); } }Employee.java
package com.spring.payroll; import lombok.Data; import javax.persistence.Entity; import javax.persistence.Id; import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;; @Data @Entity // This is a domain object definition public class Employee { private @Id @GeneratedValue Long id; private String name; private String role; //Constructor now Employee(String name, String role){ this.name = name; this.role = role; } }EmployeeRepository Interface:
package com.spring.payroll; import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository; public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Long>{ }LoadDatabase to put some initial data:
package com.spring.payroll; import lombok.extern.slf4j.Slf4j; import org.springframework.boot.CommandLineRunner; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean; import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration; @Configuration @Slf4j public class LoadDatabase { @Bean CommandLineRunner initDatabase(EmployeeRepository repository) { return args -> { repository.save(new Employee("A La BD", "Engineer")); repository.save(new Employee("Arvind", "Engineer")); System.out.println("Preloading data successful"); }; } }When I attempt maven clean install, it fails at the TEST step with below:
