java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot load configuration class: com.javainuse.SpringBootHelloWorldApplication

Ask Question
This is the one of the error, its saying I cant load config. I tried my maximum to fix this, it would be great help if you guys can help me. I have attached POM file too. There's still more errros but I'd have room for it to be added.
Error is down below:

Please help me solve this as I don't know if the versions of java jdk and all is matched.
                Hello, can you post your pom.xml (if its a maven project)? and what's the java version you are trying to compile/run your application?

                Either upgrade your spring-boot version to 2.4.X or 2.5.X OR downgrade your java/jdk to 1.8. P.S. you edited your question and deleted valuable parts of the error stacktrace, please add them back.

I had the same issue and could fix it by making the following change in pom.xml
replace
<version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
<version>2.1.0.RELEASE</version>
Make sure to Update Project before running the application again.
