I am trying to build a springboot project I built with Spring Tools Suite. I get the following error when I execute $mvn spring-boot:run

Heres my pom.xml plugin
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<arguments>
<argument>--spring.profiles.active=dev</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>

I tried the jhipster plugin above and no change in the error.
If you are using Spring Boot for application, forgetting to add
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.2.7.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
can cause this issue, as well as missing these lines
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>spring-releases</id>
<url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>spring-releases</id>
<url>https://repo.spring.io/libs-release</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
If you are running the
mvn spring-boot:run
from the command line, make sure you are in the directory that contains the pom.xml file. Otherwise, you will run into the No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups error.
You might want to add the following to your pom and try compiling
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>spring-snapshots</id>
<url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>spring-snapshots</id>
<url>http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot</url>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
Adding spring-boot-maven-plugin in the build resolved it in my case
<build>
<finalName>mysample-web</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>springloaded</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
You should run the $ mvn spring-boot:run
from the folder where your pom.xml
file is located and refer to this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/33602837/4918021
In my case I was getting same error and the cause was I had a typo in the command I was using. Was using mvn springboot:run instead of the spring-boot. Using the right command resolved it for me.
Make sure pom.xml exist in the directory, when using the mvn spring-boot:run command.
No need to add any thing in the pom.xml file.
In my case, my maven variable environment was M2_HOME,
so ive changed to MAVEN_HOME and worked.
Tnx.
