Answer 1

Adding the annotation @SpringBootApplication Before the starter class fixed this problem for me (so in essence, this error message can mean "you don't have a @SpringBootApplication marked class anywhere, you need at least one)

@SpringBootApplication
public class AppStarter {

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