I did some research and found out that it might be a jackson dependency issue

https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-annotations/issues/167

the starter includes an older version of jackson

Comment From: OlgaMaciaszek

Hello, @Celludriel, the 2.2.x release train is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported version of Spring Cloud and Spring Boot and let us know if the issue is still there.

Comment From: Celludriel

hey Olga,

You can close this ticket, if it's no longer supported it is invalidated either way. We have shelved the development on this piece of software due to other priorities so I can't upgrade it at this time.
