Description

Getting an error when running maven build.

Using spring boot, Tried to override with different versions of Surefire plugin but did not help.

Found a workaround by manually specifying  a missing dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
    <artifactId>common-java5</artifactId>
    <version>${maven-surefire-plugin.version}</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
