Cannot use eclipselink with spring boot

Question

I have a Spring Boot 1.4 application that I am trying to use Eclipselink instead of Hibernate.
At the moment, this is what I did:
Removed hibernation from the depot

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-entitymanager</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
      <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

Added by eclipselink

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>
  <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
  <version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>

Configured JpaBaseConfiguration

@Configuration
public class JpaConfiguration extends JpaBaseConfiguration {

protected JpaConfiguration(DataSource dataSource, JpaProperties properties, ObjectProvider<JtaTransactionManager> jtaTransactionManagerProvider) {
    super(dataSource, properties, jtaTransactionManagerProvider);
}

 @Bean
public LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean entityManagerFactory(final EntityManagerFactoryBuilder builder, @Autowired DataSource dataSource) {
    final LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean ret = builder.dataSource(dataSource)
            .packages("com.inkdrop.app.domain.models")
            .persistenceUnit("chathub-perstence-unit")
            .properties(getVendorProperties())
            .build();

    return ret;
}

@Override
protected AbstractJpaVendorAdapter createJpaVendorAdapter() {
    return new EclipseLinkJpaVendorAdapter();
}

@Override
protected Map<String, Object> getVendorProperties() {
    return Collections.singletonMap("eclipselink.weaving", "false");
}

when I run the application, it creates tables in the database (representing my models) and then throws this error:

I tried following this and these tutorials, but didn’t help
