NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.debugf(Ljava/lang/String;I)V

[archiecobbs]

Your plugin is pulling in something called "payara". This payara JAR contains a bunch of classfiles from other projects jammed into it. This is totally wrong and causes class file mismatches, even on tasks that have nothing to do with Vaadin (I don't understand gradle but apparently dependencies of plugins are always on the classpath).

For example, if you happen to be using Hibernate to generate a JPA schema file, the build fails with NoSuchMethodError:

$ gradle --stacktrace generateSchema

I can workaround the problem by running this command:

zip -d ~/.gradle//caches/modules-2/files-2.1/fish.payara.extras/payara-embedded-web/4.1.153/b374ba9ba62610c9e155e8beb65a9f2d61a88a3/payara-embedded-web-4.1.153.jar 'org/jboss/logging/*'

which proves that payara's bogus classfile jamming is at fault.

Here are some related Payara bugs.

Upgrading to Payara 5.x may fix the problem.

I was able to resolve the issue by upgrading the hibernate-core jar version to 5.4.1.Final

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
	<artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
	<version>5.4.1.Final</version>
</dependency>
