I have a Java application that runs in Docker using Tomcat and Maven.
We are using docker-compose command to build/up the application. build works fine, but when I do the up an error is thrown:

The funny part is that the application works for my other 2 colleagues.
I tried to make sure that maven dependencies are fine in Docker container and I even used docker volume rm [volume-name] and re-create everything, but it didn’t fix the problem.
I compared my colleague mvn dependencies from his Docker container with mine: Docker Desktop > click on container name > Exec Tab > write bash (you should be in Tomcat after) > cd webapps > cd ROOT > cd WEB-INF > cd lib > ls and they are exactly the same.
In this old post https://fogbugz.atomikos.com/default3c36.html?community.6.3158.2 is suggested to look for another transaction jar that can cause conflicts. I’m trying to spot it.
