The error arrised once I create a package named entity and added some configuration in application.yml
application.yml looks like this
spring:
datasource:
url: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb
username: root
password:
jpa:
show-sql: true
hibernate:
ddl-auto: update
naming:
strategy: org.hibernate.cfg.ImprovedNamingStrategy
properties:
hibernate:

I've tried to rebuild the project with 'mvn clean install'
I've tried deleting all *.jars from maven dependencies and used 'Update project' from maven funcionalities.
My pom.xml looks like this:

I'm new with spring mvc, maven and spring boot. Any help would be really appreciated.
** update **
By the way Im using Eclipse neon 2

Answer 1

I am new to spring boot. I created a simple spring-boot application and faced same issue.
I just updated the parent version from 1.4.3 to 1.5.3 in pom and it worked!
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.3.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
Note: I just wanted you to know that i am using java version 10.

Answer 2

If you are certain that you have all the proper dependencies defined in the pom.xml it might be a faulty jar or pom in your local maven repository.
You can purge the local repository using the following command
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository
This will remove all the projects dependencies from the local repository en when rebuilding again (mvn package) the dependencies will be resolved and download again.
You can also specify some additional flags (see this question and the official documentation).

Answer 3

Updated the parent version from 1.4.3 to 1.5.3 fixed the issue 'Unable to start embedded container', if you need 'Live Reload', you need to add 'spring-boot-devtools' as below, which includes an embedded LiveReload server that is used to trigger a browser refresh when a resource is changed, so you need to update the parent version to 2.1.13

Answer 4

I also had the same error ,
solution is just upgrade to most recent version of spring-boot starter-parent of today.
thank you
