Update to Spring 5.1 - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/http/server/reactive/ServletServerHttpResponse$ResponseBodyProcessor

Question

I get the following stacktrace while deploying when trying to update to Spring 5.1 from 4.3. Server is WildFly 14. Runtime is JDK 11. Compiler target is 1.8.

I tried cleaning dependecies, but nothing help. Further below is dependency:tree output.

I found help on the wildfly forums: https://developer.jboss.org/thread/276373?start=15&tstart=0

After adding this dependency it works:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.reactivestreams</groupId>
   <artifactId>reactive-streams</artifactId>
   <version>1.0.1</version>
</dependency>
