Solution

You need to check which jar is giving problem. It must be corrupted. Delete that jar and run mvn spring-boot:run command again. May be more that one jar has corrupted so every time you need to run that command to delete that jar. In my case mysql, jackson, aspect jars was corrupted mvn spring-boot:run command 3 times and I figure out this and deleted the jars from .m2 folder. Now the issue has resolved.
