And I have already tried with other RELEASE and Versions and Dependencies but the problem remains the same I just tried to make you show the problem with the demo class BooksC
Here I had used spring initializer
With Eclipse Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0)
you need to add REST dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-rest</artifactId>
