spring boot : error when add spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency

Question

When I add the simple spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency in my pom.xml, i got an error in the pom.xml file. If I remove that dependency there is no more errors. I am no sure why it is happening, because i am trying to execute a simple jpa example. I haven't had problems if i add others starters dependencies, I only have problems with that specific starter.

I am using Spring STS 3.7.0 to develop my tests.
I use jdk 8.0.0.60

Thank for your help.

Answer 1

IntelliJ solution:

For those facing this issue on IntelliJ, you may just need to reload the project. In your POM.xml file, right-click anywhere and go to Maven->"Reload Project".

Answer 2

Your Maven configurations in your eclipse IDE may be misconfigured when running your Spring Boot application. In order to resolve this problem you need to provide more information on your setup, or you can use Maven from the command line to get more information.

From the terminal, navigate to the directory of your pom.xml file. Then run the following command.

$ mvn clean install

Note the output and if the build is successful you can use the Maven spring-boot plugin to run the application. Use the following maven command:

$ mvn spring-boot:run
