I comment the dependency "spring-boot-starter-web", and the project start normally.
And another try is I change the version "2.0.0.RELEASE" to "1.5.10.RELEASE", the web project starts normally.

You have a corrupted jar in Maven’s cache. Try running mvn dependency:purge-local-repository or deleting the cache and then start your application again.

[xiao911wei]

I close my ide(sts-3.9.2-release) and use git bash, cd to my project dir and then execute command "mvn dependency:purge-local-repository", spring-boot-starter[-web//-test]-2.0.0.RELEASE is redownloaded from "https://repo.spring.io/milestone". But when I open my ide and boot as "Spring Boot App", the errors are still remaining.
Not working too as I use "eclipse-jee-oxygen-1a-win32-x86_64".

[wilkinsona]

I've just noticed that your pom doesn't even depend on spring-boot-starter-web so it seems unlikely that Maven would download it or that your application would be a web application. If you'd like us to re-open this and spend some more time trying to help you, please spend some time to produce a minimal, complete, and verifiable example of the problem.

[xiao911wei]

I am so sorry that I paste my code after commenting/deleting the dependency of "spring-boot-starter-web". By the way, jdk1.8.0-162(x64) is used.
Finally, there is the content of pom.xml now:

@xiao911wei There's nothing obviously wrong with your POM file. A corrupt jar still seems like the most likely issue. Is your IDE setup to use a different local maven repo? Does mvn dependency:purge-local-repository followed by mvn spring-boot:run give the same error (or is it only in the IDE)?

[xiao911wei]

The command "mvn dependency:purge-local-repository" and "mvn spring-boot:run" are not working.
Finally I solve this problem by myself, there is my step:

1. change repo/mirror in /conf/settings.xml to default, and exec these 2 commands again:
   ------still not woring, just the same error(only a few running exception)
   ....
2. download a simple demo from "https://start.spring.io", just add "web" dependency and download this demo
3. unzip demo.zip, run cmd and enter demo dir
4. exec "mvn dependency:purge-local-repository" and "mvn spring-boot:run", and I find an exception like this ".....repositoryorgspringframeworkbootspring-boot-autoconfigure2.0.0.RELEASEspring-boot-autoconfigure-2.0.0.RELEASE.jar....invalid LOC header (bad signature)"
5. delete dir ".....repositoryorgspringframeworkbootspring-boot-autoconfigure2.0.0.RELEASE" manually and exec "mvn spring-boot:run" again, everything is OK.
   Finally, thank you guys. @wilkinsona @philwebb

[sumitprof2017]

it was due tomcat error ...tomcat 7 when tomcat 8.0.27 installed it was running.....the tomcat is given by ide itself in my case netbeans

[basha928]

it was due to corrupted repos only in my case too

maybe is the idea initialzr's fault , just add follow dependency to use correct tomcat version:

org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-tomcat

it resolved

@YangZhuoNJ you have a totally different problem and it would be better to move your actual question to StackOverflow. You're probably have a war-based project and an older IJ version, see this question.
