java - Error starting ApplicationContext: conflict with javax.persistence.Table

Question

I am trying to run my project using spring-boot. It is possible to deploy the code as a jar and everything works fine. The tests do fail though.

I've been trying to use different version of my dependencies and did research on possible conflicts.

This is the extract of the POM.xml containing the dependencies:

This is the error:
