I am trying to run a simple Spring Boot application that has the following Maven pom.file:
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<start-class>com.ptkonline.EwsdProxyApplication</start-class>
<java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
If I package the file using Maven, and run the application through java -jar application.jar
, the application starts up normally. However, if I run it from IntelliJ by executing the main class, the startup fails with the following error:
2014-12-25 22:18:55.831 ERROR 3388 --- [ main] o.s.boot.SpringApplication : Application startup failed

Has anyone been able to run a Spring Boot application directly from IntelliJ?
The problem is probably that the EL implementation is in the Tomcat starter that you marked as "provided". If it isn't provided (which it won't be for a JAR file) maybe you should just leave it out?
