java.lang.ClassNotFoundException during execution of Contextloads() method in Spring Boot JUnit test case

We have a Spring boot v 2.7.x application, running on java 11. And we want to switch to java 17 and Spring boot 3.0.0. But now, when I am making the changes locally (IDE is IntelliJ), the following test class:

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.springframework.boot.test.context.SpringBootTest;

import static org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions.assertTrue;

@SpringBootTest
class MyCompanyAppRegistrationApplicationTests {

    @Test
    void contextLoads() {
        assertTrue(true);
    }

}

started failing with this error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to load ApplicationContext for [WebMergedContextConfiguration@55a66bbf

Since Spring 3.x supports JakartaEE 9 and 10, I have changed all the needed packages from javax* to Jakarta.*. But obviously for some reason somewhere Javax.servlet.Filter is wanted. Where I should look into this? Should I look at the dependencies in the pom file? The pom file looks like this:
