Answer 1

I think you may be put Application class into the root of main source, then the problem happened. try make a public package, move application to the package from source root, the problem can resolve. I think this problem is a bug of spring-boot.

Answer 2

thanks for your answers the issue occurred due to wrong configuration in spring boot. When I cleaned project the issue got resolved.

I appreciate your responses.

Answer 3

Just delete target directory and try again.
