(已解决)Unable to start embedded container/Unable to start embedded Tomcat

学习springboot，比着教学视频做helloworld的例子，视频里三下五除二就完事了，结果到我这里，死活成功不了，网上有说jar冲突的，有说配置不完整的、配置有错的，但是对于一个小白来说，自己按照他们的步骤去解决太难了，也许他们思路是清晰的，但是他们表述的太笼统了，困扰了两天，终于找到了正确答案，是java的问题，jre的lib下的ext里有个servlet-api.jar文件，跟idea自动部署的jar包重复了。

贴下具体错误：

重复的jar包的路径为：你的java路径下的jre\lib\ext\servlet-api.jar，剪切出来或者删除都可以。
