Vaadin 7.7.0 + Spring Boot 1.4.1 = errors

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:

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?

Check if the info on release notes can help you
