pom.xml is indicating end of support for products that have been upgraded. how do i fix this

I have a simple and main:

    public static void main(String[] strings) {
    }
}

MacOS 13.6.9 Spring Tool Suite 4.22.1 (Eclipse 4.31)

pom.xml, line 1, position 1 is flagged with the following errors:

Warning: Commercial support for Spring Boot 2.0.x ended on 2020-06-01
Warning: OSS support for Spring Boot 2.0.x ended on 2019-03-01
Info: Newer minor version of Spring Boot available: 2.7.18

Update: this project was formed by copying a large project and deleting everything I didn't need. I got the results above. Later I was playing around with the pom and copied the "Effective POM" to the top of the original file after commenting out the original so that I could look around to see what the error might be. Finding nothing, I did a couple of undos to get back to the original pom and lo and behold, the error was gone. I tried the same thing in my original large project, but only managed to move the error to the last line:

Solution

  • This validation is coming as part of the Spring tooling and can be disabled or customized to your needs in the Preferences -> Spring -> Validation -> Versions and Support Ranges. So if things go wrong, you could just disable this as a quick fix.

    One additional problem might be that there is outdated information read from the cache of those validations. You can delete the cache via:

    I am still wondering why the validation shows up the information about Spring Boot 2.x versions, so it would be great if you could create an issue for that at https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues and attach a sample project that reproduces this.

    In addition to all that, please also update to the latest version of the Spring Tools for Eclipse.
