did miss in pom settings?

as quick workaround, can add jar configuration uses resulting jar target folder.

in way can start application or in debug mode.

as drawback approach: won't have hotswap available , see changes after maven build. in case add in add jar run configuration window in before section maven goal "clean package -dskiptests" each time press run have latest changes available.

this quickfix; problem can solved in other ways - done times ago can't remember problematic dependency - need dig little in spring source code debugging around methods exception jumps.
