Startup failed

Building java version: java 8 Runtime: java 8, tomcat 8.5

I built the activiti-6.0 with command mvn -T 1C clean install -DskipTests.

The build and test are OK.But after I deploied activiti-app.war I got following errors.

I also tried the official release war file which works fine.

[bugs-404]

All goes well after that I deleted /.m2/repository/xml-apis/xml-apis/1.4.01/ and let maven redownload xml-apis.

Thanks for your tips and research.@ryandawsonuk @daisuke-yoshimoto
