Guys, I am on my path to relearn Spring MVC, etc... and I ran into something weird.
As someone suggested, I went to Spring initializr to generate a SpringBoot zip, and open it Netbeans, which was detected as a Maven project. With extremely minor changes, such adding the following lines to the application class @RestController ... @GetMapping("/hello") public String hello () { Return "hey"; } Within Netbeans, I would end up getting: Error: Could not find or load main class ${start-class} Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ${start-class} Command execution failed. org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 1 (Exit value: 1) But... if I were to do this in IntelliJ community edition, it works and deployed immediately using Spring's Built-in internal tomcat server. Any ideas on why? Stay Safe! ______________________ Samson Chung
