Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.http.HttpMessageConvertersAutoConfiguration

Question

I want to create a simple Spring Boot Application. Whenever I want to run the application, I get this error

Error processing condition on org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.http.HttpMessageConvertersAutoConfiguration$StringHttpMessageConverterConfiguration.stringHttpMessageConverter

What is causing this error?

Here is my pom.xml

I created this with spring initializer. I'm using Maven and also tried a mvn clean install

The app doesn't have many things yet but just a model, repository and a controller. I want to do simple CRUD operations.

But for now I can't even start the app and I don't know why.

Answer 1

Ok the thing was the javax.persistence class…

// Before
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

// After
import jakarta.persistence.Entity;
import jakarta.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import jakarta.persistence.GenerationType;
import jakarta.persistence.Id;
