Webserver fails to start due to missing bean

Question

I'm trying to start a simple spring application

I have the main.java file right here:

    package main;

import javafx.application.Application;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;


@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Main {

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

Here are the libs that I have:

Here is pom.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <version>1.0.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>


</project>

And finally the error is this one:

From what I can understand I'm missing a bean? However it looks as if I do have the jar spring beans.

Answer 1

Spring boot try to start a web server, but did not findy any in the class path. Try to add this dependency

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
<version>I Dont know</version
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Btw you pom does not look like a typical spring boot pom! Compare it with http://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/README.html
