Spring Data Envers - PropertyReferenceException: No property findRevisions found for type Foo

Ask Question
I do have a Sprint-Boot application and try to add hibernate-envers or to be more specific spring-data-envers to the project.
So I added
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-envers</artifactId>
</dependency>
The Revision entity is successfully generated/created and it was saved until I tried to user the RevisionRepository. Now I get errors I did not expect. 
I created a new configuration like:
@Configuration
@EntityScan(basePackages = {"com.package.entities"})
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.package.repos",
repositoryFactoryBeanClass = EnversRevisionRepositoryFactoryBean.class)
public class EnversConfiguration {}
And I extended my already working CrudRepository by:
@Repository
@Transactional
public interface FooRepository extends RevisionRepository<Foo, Long, Long>, CrudRepository<Foo, Long> {
Anytime I try to start the application it tells me:
SpringApplication.reportFailure - Application startup failed
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Attribute 'repositoryFactoryBeanClass' for annotation [unknown] was not resolvable due to exception [java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.data.envers.repository.support.EnversRevisionRepositoryFactoryBean]

    at com.package.web.WebApplication.main(WebApplication.java:49)
The configuration is included like:
@Import({ ... , EnversConfiguration.class})
public class WebApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer implements ApplicationListener<ContextRefreshedEvent> {
So I found somewhere a hint that @EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.package.repos" is not needed twice, cause I got already another Configuration for the JpaRepositories, so I deleted it from EnversConfiguration
After that I get this error:

Because of some @Autowired injection of the FooRepository in a FooService:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'fooServiceImpl': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'fooRepo'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'fooRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/joda/time/DateTime
Just to be sure I added the following dependency to the pom.xml and checked if packaging is set to "war"
<dependency>
    <groupId>joda-time</groupId>
    <artifactId>joda-time</artifactId>
</dependency>
Update 1 (Original title: ClassNotFoundException: EnversRevisionRepositoryFactoryBean or org/joda/time/DateTime)
So I played a little bit around and changed the order of the imported configurations:
@Import({EnversConfiguration.class, DataAccessConfiguration.class, ...})
public class WebApplication
Afterwards I splitted FooRepository to FooRevisionRepository and FooRepository staying just a CrudRepository:
@Repository
public interface FooRevisionRepository extends RevisionRepository<Foo, Long, Integer> {}
No I get this error when starting
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'fooServiceImpl': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'fooRevisionRepository'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'fooRevisionRepository': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Failed to create query method public abstract org.springframework.data.domain.Page org.springframework.data.repository.history.RevisionRepository.findRevisions(java.io.Serializable,org.springframework.data.domain.Pageable)!

                Yeah I checked the packaged .war file and the 'joda-time-2.9.9.jar' is included in the lib folder

Configure jpa repositories: 
@EnableJpaRepositories(
        repositoryFactoryBeanClass = EnversRevisionRepositoryFactoryBean.class
