Answer 1

I had the same issue and I resolved by changing the parent tag version from 2.1.1.RELEASE to 2.0.0.RELEASE

from

        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        2.1.1.RELEASE
         
    

to

        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-parent
        2.0.0.RELEASE
