I am using Spring Boot Starter to persist data to Elasticsearch but when I build the jar file it says there is a missing class. What´s wrong? I am using 7.5.2 version.

When using springboot with elasticsearch, you need to be explicit with some transitive dependencies as SpringBoot declares a version 6.4... Basically you can put this in your `pom.xml`: ```auto 7.5.2 ``` See documentation here: [https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-build.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/howto-build.html#howto-customize-dependency-versions) ---

Thanks a lot. Actually I removed the version number from properties and Spring used version **6.8.6** , problem solved. In my mind that doesn't make sense because it should be pointing to the newest version since the Elasticsearch is **7.5.2** ---
