Description

Something bad happened in the upstream. Our Eureka client starter brings in servlet 2.5 (and a bunch of other crap that shouldn't be there). This is new in 3.0.0 (2.2 was OK).

Research direction

Start with the Eureka client starter dependency trees for versions 3.0.0 and 2.2, focusing on the servlet 2.5 dependency and the other unexpected transitive dependencies. Done means identifying why the 3.0.0 starter changed and confirming that unwanted dependencies are no longer brought in.
