Recently I got an new exception when I started a Spring Boot application for development:

Fatal error: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "jdk.internal.platform.CgroupInfo.getMountPoint()" because "anyController" is null
        at java.base/jdk.internal.platform.cgroupv2.CgroupV2Subsystem.getInstance(CgroupV2Subsystem.java:80)

        at jdk.management/com.sun.management.internal.OperatingSystemImpl.<init (OperatingSystemImpl.java:182)

 

The problem can be solved with the following JVM arguments: -XX:-UseContainerSupport

Surprisingly, it did not accur again even, when I removed the arguments.
