When i try to run my spring boot application i get this Exception:

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@3764951d]

I think it's an version incompatibility. I imported open feign in my pom.xml and after that it wasn't working, but i dont know how to fix that. I use open feign 2.2.5.RELEASE. Here my pom.xml:

To elaborate on @M-deinum's comment, setting Spring Boot version to 2.3.4.RELEASE (instead of 2.4.2 in my case) solved the issue. In gradle this meant changing:

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.4.2'
    ...
}

To

plugins {
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.3.4.RELEASE'
    ...
}
