Spring Fox with @FeignClient error

See original GitHub issue

I am upgrading my application from Spring Boot 1.2 to 1.3. This produces error when I am starting the application, probably on initializing @FeignClient beans:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'myFeignClient': FactoryBean threw exception on object creation; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

Some fragments of my pom.xml:

    ...
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>1.3.0.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/>
    </parent>
    ....
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>Brixton.M3</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>

Also I have @EnableFeignClients annotation on my main class and when I remove this one, the error seems to be gone and application is starting properly.

What can be the problem?

With the @RequestBody error in another issue, is there anything left to do in this one?
