error when trying to deploy my Spring MVC project. I've read that the reason for that could be transient dependencies/conflicting versions, however I can't figure out what's wrong with my pom.xml. I think I've started getting it after adding dependencies for jwt, however I checked those and they seem to be the newest possible. These are the dependencies that I have:

Solution

There was an answer posted here but somewhy it got removed. The answer was: put spring and spring-security core dependencies on top of the pom, so that all other dependencies (including jwt ones) come after them.
