Failed to start component - ZipException: invalid LOC header (bad signature)
<p>I have gone through similar posts around. I have tried most of those solutions but was not able to get rid of the error I am getting. Expecting some help on this.</p>

<p>This error came after I added maven dependancies to deployment assembly. I am using STS with Pivotal tc Server Development Edition v3.1.  I already checked the version of tc server and java home. Both use java 8.</p>

<p>I cannot understand what the problem is. </p>

<p>The following is my pom.xml. Error came when I tried to add spring-webmvc dependancy to pom.xml.</p>
