问题
I am pretty new in Spring Boot and I am experiencing some problem trying to update the spring-boot-starter-parent parent project.
So, at the beginning I have this pom.xml file (it works fine, I can build the project and I have no problem):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
<properties>

As you can see this pom.xml file contains this section:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.9.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
Please correct me if I am doing wrong assertion: from what I understoot it means that my pom.xml file is child of another pom.xml file of the spring-boot-starter-parent project having version 1.5.9.RELEASE. Is it this reasoning correct? In case where is defined this pom.xml file?
So at the moment I am succesfully using the 1.5.9.RELEASE version of this parent project. It is pretty old, I want to update it to the last one that is the 2.2.5.RELEASE, as shown here:
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-starter-parent
So I changed only the section of the previous pom.xml file in this way:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.2.5.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
The problem is that trying to build the project by this Maven command:
mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
I am obtaining the following error message:

回答1:
This is a major spring version upgrade from 1.x to 2.x. During such major version upgrade there are usually breaking changes such as package restructuring, removal of deprecated classes/methods, etc. It is best to refer to some sort of migration guide for such upgrade. You can refer to the official migration guide or some of other blog such as this.
Spring provides a dependency module which can be added to your pom file. This module analyses the application and provides diagnostic output for the changes required.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-properties-migrator</artifactId>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
For the specific issue raised in the question;
[ERROR] /home/developer/git/SOC-dashboard/src/main/java/com/springboot/excelapi/Application.java:[9,34] cannot find symbol
[ERROR] symbol: class SpringBootServletInitializer
The SpringBootServletInitializer is now available from org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support package.
