I have a problem with Idea, it seems that Idea keeps loading jars that I removed from my spring application

Try to invalidate caches. Intellij Idea -> File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart

I did that, but to no avail, rebuilt gradle, removed build dirs neither. The only thing that solved it was to add in my application profile:

management.health.solr.enabled: false

You can try to use

gradle dependencies | grep solr

maybe one of the dependencies uses solr

I have a dependency that import solrj transitively (rdf4j) but that has nothing to do with spring. so maybe spring still sees solr4j on the classpath and decides to do that? That would be a weird behavior no?
