springboot Upgrade from 2.3.5.RELEASE to 2.4.1- ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.boot.context.properties.ConfigurationBeanFactoryMetadata

Question

I am trying to upgrade my kotlin - gradle project from springboot version 2.3.5.RELEASE to 2.4.1. Looks like there is version mismatch between springboot-2.4.1 and sping-cloud-Hoxton.SR9.

build.gradle.kts snippet

    plugins {         id("org.springframework.boot") version "2.4.1"         id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.0.10.RELEASE"              kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.10"     kotlin("plugin.spring") version "1.4.10"     kotlin("plugin.jpa") version "1.4.10"     kotlin("plugin.serialization") version "1.4.10"      idea     }          group = "com.xxx"     version = ""     java.sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_11     extra["springCloudVersion"] = "Hoxton.SR9"          val resilience4jVersion = "1.3.1"     val queryDslVersion = "4.4.0"     val springCloudVersion = "Hoxton.SR9"     val cucumberVersion = "6.7.0"     val camundaVersion = "7.14.0"     var jacocoVersion = "0.8.5"  dependencyManagement {     imports {         mavenBom("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:$springCloudVersion")     } }   dependencies {      implementation("org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-openfeign")     implementation("org.javers:javers-core:5.12.0")     implementation("io.jsonwebtoken:jjwt-api:0.11.1")     implementation("io.jsonwebtoken:jjwt-impl:0.11.1")     implementation("io.jsonwebtoken:jjwt-jackson:0.11.1")       implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-mail")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-hateoas")     // Aop dependency     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-aop")     implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.module:jackson-module-kotlin")     implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect")     implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8")     implementation("org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.12")      implementation("org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.5")      implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.10.3")     implementation("com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.10.3")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")     implementation("javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.3.0")      implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-integration")     implementation("org.springframework.kafka:spring-kafka")     implementation("org.springframework.integration:spring-integration-kafka:3.3.0.RELEASE")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-validation")     implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security")     implementation("org.springframework:spring-tx")      runtimeOnly("mysql:mysql-connector-java")     implementation("org.mariadb.jdbc:mariadb-java-client:2.6.0")      implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-kotlin:1.4.3")     implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-ui:1.4.3")     implementation("org.springdoc:springdoc-openapi-hateoas:1.4.3") } 

When I run the springboot application, I get following exception. The application was working properly before upgrading to the newer version.

Please help me solving this issue.
