Solutions i tried

I have read several stack overflow posts and none have worked for me. Here is what I have tried:

  1. Clean and rebuild project
  2. Adding the following dependency in my POM:
        <dependency>
            <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
            <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
            <version>1.2</version>
        </dependency>
  1. add compile to the commns-logging dependency.
  2. updating jasperreport dependency to a newer version.

The problem is that the project has conflicting transitive dependencies. Also, the error appeared intermittently. That was because the loading time is variable and sometimes it loads the correct dependency and sometimes it doesn't. The solution was to add this Maven plugin that is responsible for always loading the most recent dependency:

https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-optional-and-excludes-dependencies.html#dependency-exclusions

Remember to always do a Maven Clean.
