@EnableTask
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringCloudTaskExample implements Task {

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

  @Override
  public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("Running Spring Cloud Task Example!");
  }

}

Answer 1

The reason it is not working is that org.springframework.cloud.task.Task does not exist.

Maybe you were trying to implement org.springframework.cloud.task.configuration.TaskConfigurer ?

Answer 2

Please update your Spring Boot Version to 2.7.8

Please replace the following in your pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-task-core</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.1</version>
</dependency>

with

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-task</artifactId>
</dependency>
