graphql-java version not compatible with graphql-spring-boot-starter

[idegroot]

I upgraded my implementation project to the latest graphql-spring-boot-starter version but this caused a bean creation error when used with the graphql generated code because of conflicting versions of graphql-java code generator. Would it be possible to upgrade the version of graphql-java in graphql-java-codegen to 16.2?

code-generation project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.github.kobylynskyi</groupId>
    <artifactId>graphql-java-codegen</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.0</version>
</dependency>

implementation project:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.graphql-java-kickstart</groupId>
   <artifactId>graphql-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
   <version>11.0.0</version>
</dependency>

error:

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'graphQLSchemaProvider' defined in class path resource [graphql/kickstart/spring/web/boot/GraphQLWebAutoConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'graphQLSchemaProvider' parameter 0; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'graphQLSchema' defined in class path resource [graphql/kickstart/tools/boot/GraphQLJavaToolsAutoConfiguration.class]: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [graphql.schema.GraphQLSchema]: Factory method 'graphQLSchema' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: graphql/collect/ImmutableKit

The error was solved when I explicitly managed the dependency of graphql-java to 16.2.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.graphql-java</groupId>
    <artifactId>graphql-java</artifactId>
    <version>16.2</version>
</dependency>

@idegroot
5.0.0 was released.
graphql-java and other libraries are now excluded from the classpath of graphql-java-codegen so please try upgrading graphql-java-codegen to 5.0.0.
Thanks.

This is an even better solution. Thank you for addressing the issue. I can confirm that 5.0.0 solves our problem.
