cannot access org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext class file
<p>I am new to spring boot, while trying to build my first spring boot project (Maven) in intellij using spring initializer, I am getting this error when I run my project after creating it:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>cannot access org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext
    class file for org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext not found</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I followed many tutorials but every time I am getting this error, how to resolve this?</p>

<p>My pom.xml file:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
      http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"&gt;

    &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;

    &lt;groupId&gt;com.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;das-boot&lt;/artifactId&gt;
    &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
    &lt;packaging&gt;jar&lt;/packaging&gt;

    &lt;name&gt;First spring boot app&lt;/name&gt;
    &lt;description&gt;project for Spring Boot&lt;/description&gt;

    &lt;parent&gt;
        &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
        &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;version&gt;1.4.0.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
        &lt;relativePath /&gt; &lt;!-- lookup parent from repository --&gt;
    &lt;/parent&gt;

    &lt;properties&gt;
        &lt;project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.build.sourceEncoding&gt;
        &lt;project.reporting.outputEncoding&gt;UTF-8&lt;/project.reporting.outputEncoding&gt;
        &lt;java.version&gt;1.8&lt;/java.version&gt;
    &lt;/properties&gt;

    &lt;dependencies&gt;
        &lt;dependency&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-web&lt;/artifactId&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;

        &lt;dependency&gt;
            &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
            &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-test&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;scope&gt;test&lt;/scope&gt;
        &lt;/dependency&gt;
    &lt;/dependencies&gt;

    &lt;build&gt;
        &lt;plugins&gt;
            &lt;plugin&gt;
                &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
                &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
            &lt;/plugin&gt;
        &lt;/plugins&gt;
    &lt;/build&gt;


&lt;/project&gt;
