What's wrong with my dependency? I'm new to Spring and Maven projects. org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration is totally missing even though org.springframework.context.annotation package exists.

Solution

  • You need the spring-context dependency.

    Spring provides a bill of materials (BOM) that makes all this much easier. You can find it at org.springframework:spring-framework-bom.
