Hi, application does not launch when activating devtools (eclipse-neon windows). Spring boot version is 1.3.6.RELEASE The error is

We now include the cause. In your case you can see that the failure was due to a ZipException. That’s a very strong indication that you have a corrupted jar. The message of the IllegalStateException tells you which jar is causing the problem:

file:/C:/Users/NIKIL/.m2/repository/org/hibernate/hibernate-core/5.0.12.Final/hibernate-core-5.0.12.Final.jar

You should remove that jar from your Maven cache and try building your project again so that Maven has another go at downloading it.

It works fine for me on OS X. It could be due to a corrupted jar. Can you try cleaning out your Maven cache and trying again?
