You need to add the following dependency to your Maven, or Gradle configuration file:
+ Maven (pom.xml):
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>
+ Gradle (build.gradle):
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
Once this dependency has been added, you application will start.
