I am new to Spring/Maven, and am following this tutorial: Serving Web Content with Spring MVC.
Everytime I run mvn spring-boot:run, I get this error:
Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.5.2.RELEASE:run (default-cli) on project gs-serving-web-content: Could not exec java: Application finished with exit code: 1 ->
I tried to add classpath, tried to run mvn install clean spring-boot:run, did a lot of other things that people suggested on stackoverflow in similar situations, spent on this more than 8 hours - no use.
Here is my main class Application.java:
package hello;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
Here is my GreeetingController.java class:
package hello;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
@Controller
public class GreetingController {
@RequestMapping("/greeting")
public String greeting(@RequestParam(value="name", required=false, defaultValue="World") String name, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("name", name);
return "greeting";
}
}
Here is my pom.xml file:
