The type org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext cannot be resolved

问题

I am getting the following error, when i tried to create my first application in Spring Tool Suite:

Multiple markers at this line - The type org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files - The method run(Object, String...) from thae type SpringApplication refers to the missing type ConfigurableApplicationContext

This is the following pom.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </project>



    This is the Controller Used


    package com.welcome.demo;

    import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
    import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
    import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;


    @SpringBootApplication
    @EnableAutoConfiguration
    public class WelcomeApplication {

        public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
            SpringApplication.run(WelcomeApplication.class, args);
        }
    }

Can any one help in this? what is my mistake? And it is showing red exclamation mark on the project folder.

回答1:

Your maven cache is corrupted. To resolve this problem, follow the steps below:

• Go to the directory of your project on the command line.
• Make sure your POM.xml is in the same directory as your command line

• Run the command

  mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
  

• If you receive build successful message, means the error has been resolved.

• If error is still there, delete your (~/.m2/repository/org/springframework) folder and run

  mvn package
  

It will work properly now.

Updated the spring-boot-starter-parent to latest version . Resolved the problem for me

<parent>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
      **<version>1.3.6.RELEASE</version> // update this to latest**
      <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
