3.0.0 conflicts with Spring Boot 2.1.1 Release

[navykoo]

When adopting 3.0.0 release on a SPRING BOOT 2.1.1 RELEASE based project, it failed during web container start up with an error of - " org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'defaultValidator' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/validation/ValidationAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.valueextraction.ValueExtractorManager
". It seemed like a conflict with hibernate validator while I have no idea why JImageHash would have any side affect of hibernate validator.

When I switched JImageHash version from 3.0.0 to 2.1.1, it all passed. Is it because JImageHash version aligns with SPRING BOOT version?

Thanks.

The library contains a lot of dependencies that are needed for the examples, but not if you only want to use the algorithms.
