Errors caused by not having declared a dependency

Has anyone successfully got Spring Boot, Spring Data Elasticsearch, and Elasticsearch 5.x to work?

I updated my pom to use spring-data-elasticsearch 3.0.0.RELEASE (just released) which has commit notes in Github saying it supports ES 5.

I was getting some errors which were caused by not having declared a dependency on spring-data-common. After adding without a version, I noticed it was being managed by Spring Boot apparently and pulls in 1.13.7.RELEASE

This causes: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/data/mapping/model/Property

I then bumped up spring-data-common to 2.0.0.RELEASE thinking the newest releases of everything should be compatible. That causes an AbstractMethodError exception when the repository is wired.

Can anyone give any tips? Here are the dependencies from my POM

    <spring-boot.version>1.5.7.RELEASE</spring-boot.version>
    <spring-cloud.version>Dalston.RELEASE</spring-cloud.version>

Whomever edited the title made an inaccurate description. As originally stated, the issue is a "dependency hell". There wasn't missing dependencies but rather a ton of transitive dependencies that all needed versions to be coordinated in magic nonobvious/undocumented ways. – JvmSd121
