    org.springframework.boot.web.embedded.netty.NettyReactiveWebServerFactory.createHttpServer(NettyReactiveWebServerFactory.java:163)

The following method did not exist:

    reactor.netty.http.server.HttpServer.runOn(Lreactor/netty/resources/LoopResources;)Lreactor/netty/transport/Transport;

The method's class, reactor.netty.http.server.HttpServer, is available from the following locations:

    jar:file:/Users/vn50y2z/.m2/repository/io/projectreactor/netty/reactor-netty/0.9.11.RELEASE/reactor-netty-0.9.11.RELEASE.jar!/reactor/netty/http/server/HttpServer.class
    jar:file:/Users/vn50y2z/.m2/repository/io/projectreactor/netty/reactor-netty-http/1.0.17/reactor-netty-http-1.0.17.jar!/reactor/netty/http/server/HttpServer.class

Action:

Correct the classpath of your application so that it contains a single, compatible version of reactor.netty.http.server.HttpServer
