title: JPA Sample Spring Boot app throws BeanCreationException
body: <p>I'm trying to get a simple spring project to work, I downloaded a starter project from here (Maven, with only the JPA dependency as I want to use hibernate): </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://start.spring.io/" rel="nofollow">https://start.spring.io/</a></p>
  
  <p>I then ran: <code>mvn clean install</code></p>
  
  <p>which threw a lot of errors:</p>
