I faced this error while learning Spring Boot in 2023. I easily fix it by adding the following line at the spring-boot-starter-web dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
</dependency>

I fixed the problem adding the version of the plugin in the pom.xml, which is the same of Spring Boot's version. (and it's working since Spring Boot 2.2 until 2.7.X)

So you just have to configure your pom.xml like this:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
</plugin>

Changing SDK default to the version of Java used helped me. (For intellij idea).

Project Structure -> Project -> Language level -> If it is SDK default change to your Java version

And then try to sync.

I had this issue today 22 Jan 2022 using spring boot 2.6.3 from Intelij IDE and was able to resolve it by changing from 2.6.3 back to 2.6.2 .As of the time of writing I was getting this error

Cannot resolve plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:3.2.2

        <parent>
           <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
           <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
           <version>2.6.2</version>  <!-- change 2.6.3 to 2.6.2-->
           <relativePath/>

just use the last version of spring-boot-maven-plugin

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot-maven-plugin

or use same version of

<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.7.1</version>

Issue with --release flag occurs when the java version of the project doesn't match with the environment, solution is to check and update the environment variables for JAVA_HOME,MAVEN_HOME,PATH with set command.

Moreover make sure you add properties for java version and maven release version as below:

<properties>
  <java.version>18</java.version>
  <maven.compiler.release>18</maven.compiler.release>
</properties>

After making change do not forget to clean the project, update the project and then mvn install.

I have an edge solution, in IntelliJ IDEA. When my mouse hovers over the <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>, I get the version and use it as

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.2.0</version>

in intellij 2022 i faced this problem; and solve it by adding a line:

<version>${project.parent.version}</version>

in my "pom.xml":

<project>
  ...
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>

        </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

</project>

For me this was nothing to do with versions or any IDE settings, it was simply calling spring-boot:repackage on its own.

It has to be called with package, so:

mvn package spring-boot:repackage

Has to be done and not:

mvn spring-boot:repackage

I'm assuming that this changes values in the reactor and the second call has a different method to use. When I look at the method that was failing it is now deprecated:

Create a new Packager instance.
Deprecated
since 2.3.10 for removal in 2.5 in favor of Packager(File) and setLayoutFactory(LayoutFactory)
Params:
source – the source archive file to package layoutFactory – the layout factory to use or null

And so probably calling it on its own will result in this method call and thus erroring. The "new" chained method is obviously behaving differently and therefore works.

In your pom.xml file, go to the plugins section and then add this line below artifactId.

<version>${project.parent.version}</version>

Your code should look like this:

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${project.parent.version}</version>

Then load maven changes and it should fix your problem.

I tried a lot of the solutions here but only this worked for me:

I changed the Maven wrapper to "Bundled" in the "Maven home path" configuration. You can find this at the menu: Preferences > Build, execution, development > build tools > maven

Your dependencies are not loaded into your project if you declared them at a later point.

For IntelliJ IDEA

Right click on your project > Maven > Reload Project

This should fix the error.

This could be due to network issue which lead to partial download of dependencies and plugins. For me below step worked in IntelliJIDEA:

Close the project from editor: File -> Close Project

Then reopen the project.

Simply add version of the spring-boot-starter-parent in the plugin section i.e

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>

Change into

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.5.RELEASE</version>
</plugin>

I encountered this issue in January 2022 when the version changed to 2.6.3. I lowered the version of the project to 2.6.2 as well but was unsuccessful. However adding the following line <version>${project.parent.version}</version> plugins solves the issue regardless of the version. The snippet is given below

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${project.parent.version}</version>
</plugin>

it works definetely : add this <version>${project.parent.version}</version> in Pom.xml like this :

<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> 
<version>${project.parent.version}</version>

or another solution is : add <version>2.4.3</version> in pom.xml

Quick solution

I tried all the solutions above and realized that the dependencies were not being downloaded. That's when I knew it was a network issue. My network was strong so I knew it had too be the firewall. I added intellij IDE to my list of exceptions and it worked like charm.

This solution worked for me:

From the Preferences in Intelli J, navigate to "Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Maven", check the "Use plugin registry", and click "OK".

Then "File > Invalidate Caches / Restart" to reload Intelli J. The error will go away automatically.

I just followed these steps in IntelliJ IDEA:

Click File from menu and then click Invalidate Caches / Restart.

The pom.xml is correct. It seems that there is a network issue. The plugin was not downloaded due to that.

Steps to solve the issue :

  • Check for network issue. You need to have a strong internet connection to download all the dependencies and plugins using maven. Otherwise, you will face issue to build maven project for sure.

  • For eclipse/STS :

    1. Right click on the project >> Run As >> Maven clean (this will clean the project by deleting the target folder).

      Example :

enter image description here

  1. Right click on the project >> Run As >> Maven install (this will download all dependencies and generate target folder).

Example :

enter image description here

  1. If problem still persists, then last option is to force refresh of the project. Right click on the project >> Maven >> Update Project.

enter image description here

  1. Update Maven Project Window will be come.

enter image description here

Note: Enable the option Force update of Snapshot/Releases (look in above screenshot). By default, this option is not enabled. Click on ok. It will start updating.

  • For Intellij IDE :
  1. Open the Maven tab present on the right tab and check for spring-boot-maven-plugin.

enter image description here

  1. If the plugin was not downloaded, then click on clean maven lifecycle and it delete the folders that were generated by maven.

enter image description here

  1. Then, click on install maven lifecycle and it will download all the dependencies and generate all the folders from scratch required for the project.

enter image description here

  1. Last step is to force update of the project. You need to click on the Generate Sources and Update Folders for All Projects option.

enter image description here

Note : Go the Preference -> Build, Execution and Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven -> Enable "Always update Snapshots" option present -> Click on Apply and Ok. This option helps sometimes.

  • For Without any IDE :

  1. Download maven from here and extract it.

  2. Set maven location on the environment variable so that it can run from anywhere.

  3. Open CMD/Terminal and then do mvn clean install inside the project.

Update for viewers: <version> tag is not mandatory tag to be there for spring-boot projects because pom.xml created by spring for spring-boot can handle the version of the spring-boot-maven-plugin.

Updated pom.xml :

Edit :

If above steps are not solving your issue, then you can go for the workaround solution by explicitly providing the parent spring boot version in the plugin for spring-boot-maven-plugin (not a recommended solution):

<plugins>
   <plugin>
      <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
      <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>${parent.version}</version> 
    </plugin>
</plugins>

Another possibility is if you have spring-boot-maven-plugin in a sub-module which parent has spring-boot-starter-parent as parent.

So, the module with spring-boot-maven-plugin is a 'grandchild' of spring-boot-starter-parent.

If that's the case, since you can't reference AFAIK the grandparent, you need to manually add its version.

I am open to recommendations, so that I don't need to manually set the version in such a configuration.

If solution suggested by Anish B doesn't work and you are using intellij, try deleting the .idea and *.iml file from the project directory and open the pom.xml file with intellij. This should fix the issue.
