Answer 1

This is because you might be having one of the jars in your maven cache corrupted, which is actually pointed out by IllegalStateException.

Try removing the corrupted jar from your maven cache and re-build your application.

In your case just delete this particular file and rebuild your application.

file:/C:/Users/HP%20PC/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/1.2.0.RELEASE/**spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar

For more on this topic please refer to this link : here.

Answer 2

Seems like spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar got corrupted. Please delete it from your maven cache and try again.

Go to path where ever it is showing the exception and remove it from that location.

In your case, C:/Users/HP%20PC/.m2/repository/org/springframework/plugin/spring-plugin-core/1.2.0.RELEASE/spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar

spring-plugin-core-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar delete this jar from above location and clean your project once and then try to run the application. If this issue got resolved and if you face similar issue with any other jars, please delete those jars as well.
