Question

I am trying to run a maven application using spring on running the application compiles successfully but on running the command mvn spring-boot:run the following error appears. I am running the application in eclipse IDE.

Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.6.7:run (default-cli) on project userms: Application finished with exit code: 1 -> [Help 1]

This is my pom.xml file

This error never occured before when I was running other applications.

Answer 1

Hi the issue can be cause by a lot of things but the funny thing could be small typing mistake in application.properties.

in my case I missed out one letter in the database name and in his case he gave the application a wrong password.

Check letter by letter and line by line.
