Vaadin 7.7.0 + Spring Boot 1.4.1 = errors

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8

Hello,

I’m getting a lot of java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError logs since I upgraded from Vaadin 7.6.8 + Spring Boot 1.4.0 to Vaadin 7.7.3 + Spring Boot 1.4.1. This is the full stack trace:

    ... 44 common frames omitted

It seems like it’s confused because Tomcat is used while Jetty is also on the classpath, although I can’t simply exclude that in build.

Does anyone else have this issue, and is there a worksaround?
