Is the project bootspring v1 or v2

I am a devops engineer currently containerizing java applications for our backend team.

All projects are built with spring-boot and use either spring-boot v2 or (since they're older and more legacy) spring-boot v1.

I have built a spring-boot base image for them to run on and do some additional stuff based on the spring-boot version used.

Sadly for one of the projects I don't have any information if it's v1 or v2. Having no experience with neither java coding nor spring-boot I am at a loss at how to find out.

So the question is: Assuming the source code is present, how can I tell if a project is using spring-boot v2 or v1?

Thanks for your help java gurus!

As you mentioned assuming you have source code, Check for the versions in the pom.xml file.

  1. Check for spring-boot-starter-parent dependency version to be 2.0.0 or higher and,
  2. check the spring framework version downloaded to be 5

Edit:
If you can run the application, you can also check version with the ascii art that printed out, assuming no customization made:
