I have followed this course so far however, I encounter some problem here.

When I want to add "@Entity" Annotation on data model "Category" the entity symbol can not be resolve.

IDE suggest me to add "spring-boot-starter-data-jpa" Library to Project -

There are two options:

Screenshoot

  1. Use "spring-boot-starter-data-jpa" from IntelliJ IDEA distribution
  2. Copy ""spring-boot-starter-data-jpa" library file to...

If I choose both nothing happened.

How can i solve this problem?

I am not sure why you are facing this problem but you can easily add "spring-boot-starter-data-jpa" to your MAVEN project POM file. you can do similar thing if you have a Gradle project instead

<dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId> <version>1.3.7.RELEASE</version> </dependency>

Gradle compile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-data-jpa', version: '1.3.7.RELEASE'
