title: Spring boot with Thymeleaf 3 Beta
body: <p>Spring boot does not seem to play well with Thymeleaf 3 beta. </p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not evaluate condition on org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.security.FallbackWebSecurityAutoConfiguration due to internal class not found. 
  
  This can happen if you are @ComponentScanning a springframework package (e.g. if you put a @ComponentScan in the default package by mistake)

  <p>.... </p>
  
  <pre><code> Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/thymeleaf/resourceresolver/IResourceResolver
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how I can make it work?</p>
  
  <p>Essentially, I have prebuilt HTML templates which do not really conform to XHTML standards and I want to use this with Thymeleaf. Thymeleaf 2 does not support HTML and even the LEGACYHTML5 mode throws up errors due to angular markup</p>
  
  <p>So, I am stuck with Spring Boot which only uses Thyme2 and no support for Thyme3 but my app would only work with Thyme3</p>
