Solution 1

Extending Mark Bramnik answer, It does look like you don't have logback, which is pretty weird because spring-boot-starter-web have a dependency on spring-boot-starter-logging. Just try to add spring-boot-starter-logging to your POM file

Solution 2

It looks like you're trying to use a logback logging implementation but don't have a logback jar in the classpath:

Please try adding something like this (depending on Spring Boot version there can be another actual version of logback dependency)

<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>

Then you'll probably want to configure loggers, appenders and so forth. For more information about logging in spring boot read a chapter from official Spring Boot documentation.

Solution 3

Spring boot application is expecting logback classic dependency.Since its unable to find the logback-classic jar in classpath its throwing an error Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ch/qos/logback/classic/turbo/TurboFilter.

After adding the below dependency application started without any issues.

<dependency>
    <groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
    <artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.11</version>
</dependency>

Solution 4

Apparently I had a broken jar in the classpath, after removing everything from .m2 and updating it worked.

Solution 5

This worked for me, though not very intelligent: Deleted the ch folder from within .m2 folder, and did a Run > 'Maven install' from Eclipse.

    I created a vanilla Spring Boot App (1.5.9.RELEASE) but when I Run As -> Spring Boot App (in Eclipse Oxygen) I get

@SpringBootApplication
public class CourseApiApp {

    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        SpringApplication.run(CourseApiApp.class, args);

    Remark

    I also tried mvn clean package -> java -jar target/boot-demo.jar which gives me
