I tried to delete the .idea folder or "invalid cache and restart" but nor the first neither the second approach fixed the problem.
There is a similar question Cannot resolve symbol SpringApplication but the answer didn't resolve my issue. how can I fix that?

Running the following command solved for me this issue :
mvn idea:idea

I fixed this issue by downgrading the maven version.

you seem to use Spring Boot version 1.0.1, #SpringBootApplication annotation was introduced in 1.2

You are not using SpringBoot parent but your own, you need to add dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
<version>${spring-boot.version}</version>
<type>pom</type>
<scope>import</scope>
</dependency>

you need to add dependency
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.3.0.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

Cannot resolve commons-collections:commons-collections:2.1

I have an issue when i try to fix my code. I keep getting issue when I reload maven/reimport maven

take a look and see how I can fix this.
Cannot resolve commons-collections:commons-collections:2.1
Cannot resolve org.apache.commons:commons-collections4:4.4
Cannot resolve commons-digester:commons-digester:1.6
Cannot resolve xml-apis:xml-apis:1.0.b2
Cannot resolve commons-logging:commons-logging:1.0.4

The error is "Cannot resolve commons-collections:commons-collections:2.1"
It has nothing to do with "commons-validator" dependency.
The commons collection artifact has moved to a different location in maven artifactory.
Please check this out
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.commons/commons-collections4

try to change version of your package, but better find dependency in https://mvnrepository.com/ which you need, copy this text and try to reimport.

The import org.springframework.mail cannot be resolved

I was trying sending email in spring boot , however the import statement always says can't resolved.
Tried browsing the articles and blogs but they have exact same import as i have and it still doesn't work to me.
I simply can't figure out what is wrong with my code or dependency [ pom.xml file]
when I try to write this code
#Autowired
private JavaMailSender mailSender;
import is not available for this.
when I write this code
import org.springframework.mail.SimpleMailMessage;
this says The import org.springframework.mail cannot be resolved.
My pom.xml looks like this

What is wrong with this ?

Can you try changing spring boot version?
try setting it to 2.1.3.RELEASE(i have given version and JavaMailSender works just fine) for example and check again.

Sprint Boot Stubs of spring cloud contract could not be found

I'm new to Spring Boot. I just created a project (using https://start.spring.io ). I've tried to run the application by using Maven (./mvnw install) and I got this error:

Invalid target release: 12 when pushing the heroku repo

I have an error whenever I git push heroku master and this is the error
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project backend: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 12
I am unsure why this error keeps coming up and I figured I fixed it with my pom.xml file, but it seems that I am doing something wrong

please tell me how to fix this problem.
Thank you

You need to create a file called system.properties in the root of your project, and therein have the following line:
java.runtime.version=12
However, Heroku does not support runtime version 12, only the odd numbers (so 11, 13, 15 as of this writing). See https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/java-support#supported-java-versions
Be sure both your pom.xml and system.properties are targeting the same version, or headaches will ensue.
