Package org.springframework.boot.context.embedded does not exist

by

Explanation:

When you encounter the error message “package org.springframework.boot.context.embedded does not exist”, it means that the required package for Spring Boot’s embedded server is not found in the classpath.

The package org.springframework.boot.context.embedded contains classes and interfaces related to configuring and running an embedded server within a Spring Boot application.

To resolve this error, you need to make sure that the necessary Spring Boot dependencies are correctly included in your project’s build configuration. This can be done using a build automation tool like Maven or Gradle.

Example:

Let’s take an example of a Maven project to demonstrate how to fix this error:

1. pom.xml

Ensure that your project’s pom.xml file contains the necessary dependencies for Spring Boot. In this case, we need the spring-boot-starter-web dependency, which includes the embedded server package.

<dependencies>
  <!-- Other dependencies -->
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.0</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

2. Build the project

After updating the pom.xml file, rebuild your project to ensure that the new dependencies are downloaded and added to the classpath. You can use your IDE’s build tool or run the build command from the terminal.

3. Verify the package

Once the build is successful, you can verify that the org.springframework.boot.context.embedded package is now available in your project’s classpath. You can check this by searching for the package in your IDE’s project explorer or by navigating to the Maven/Gradle dependencies section.

4. Import the necessary classes

Now that the package is available, you can import the required classes in your code. For example:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class MyApplication {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    SpringApplication.run(MyApplication.class, args);
  }
}

In this example, we import the SpringApplication class from the org.springframework.boot package, which is required to run a Spring Boot application.
