Spring-Boot Maven, missing dependency @RestController


I'm new to the Springboot and Maven area and wanted to ask what I did wrong here / why it doesn't work that way.

My Code

Says, missing Maven dependency

Normally it should add after I type the annotation "@RestController" -> import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

What should I do?

My POM

Solution

  • @RestController annotation is included in spring-web-X.X.X.jar You need to include spring-boot-starter-web dependency in your pom.xml file:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>
