Answer 2

Solved the problem by dropping the jar into WEB_INF/lib.

Answer 3

copying the jar files will resolve. If by any chance you are copying the code from any tutorials, make sure the class names are spelled in correct case...for example i copied a code from one of the tutorials which had solr in S cap. Eclipse was continiously throwing the error and i also did a bit of googling ...everything was ok and it took 30 mins for me to realise the cap small issue. Am sure this will help someone

Answer 4

First you need to update the pom.xml by adding below

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

1] Right click your project name.

2] Click Properties.

3] Click Java Build Path.

4] Check on 'Maven Dependencies' in Order and Export tabl.

In my case, previously it was not enabled. So when I enabled it my @GetMapping annotation works fine..

Answer 5

Project -> Clean

can at least sometimes be sufficient to resolve the matter.

Answer 6

Solution : 1.Project -> Build Path -> Configure Build Path

2.Select Java Build path on the left menu, and select "Source"

3.Under Project select Include(All) and click OK

Cause : The issue might because u might have deleted the CLASS files or dependencies on the project
