Who can help?

I tried all possible answers in StackOverflow related to my problem, but no result, please help

Answer 1

You are using Spring Boot 1.5.2.RELEASE 's Maven plugin with Spring Boot 2.3.5.RELEASE . You should always use the same version of each. As you are using spring-boot-starter-parent as your project's parent, the easiest way to do that is to remove the version from the plugin declaration in the <build> section of your pom:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.2.RELEASE</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>repackage</goal>
            </goals>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

This will allow the parent to control the version of the Maven plugin's that's used, thereby ensuring that the two stay in sync.
