Beginning Spring, "Application failed to start with classpath", "Error starting Tomcat context", and other errors
<p>I've just started doing the Spring tutorial in the documentation (the first one - <a href="http://spring.io/guides/tutorials/react-and-spring-data-rest/" rel="nofollow">react-and-spring-data-rest</a>, using a basic <code>Employee</code> class) and have a printout that I'm almost reluctance to paste, due to how large it is.</p>

<p>The project skeleton was generated by the <strong>spring-initializer</strong> and I'm running in <strong>IntelliJ</strong>.</p>

<p>Here's that <code>pom.xml</code> file:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

    &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
