import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringBootPocApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(SpringBootPocApplication.class, args);
}
}
I tried many solutions I could find on internet, such as deleting the .m2 repository, adding different tags (version, fork,...) to the spring-boot-maven-plugin plugin which, I'm pretty sure, is the part causing the problem
Any suggestions ?

You need add this dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
then it will work.
You have 0 compile dependencies, only test-compile dependencies defined, because you've commented out spring-boot-starter-data-jpa. Spring starter's pull other dependencies in (including other starters) to create everything needed at compile time. Un-comment the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency, and/or re-evaulate what dependencies you actually want.
1) Close the project 2) Import the project again with auto-import checked
This worked for me. Maybe works for you too.
Add the below section outside dependency management and do an update of project. And then the clean install of maven.
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.5.10.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
And the below dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
If does not fix (Not Likely to happen) then add the other dependencies mentioned here
This issue will be resolved using
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
If this still did not work, run "maven clean install"
