Issues while trying to follow along the Workshop on building a REST Api with Spring Boot.

I'm trying to follow along the workshop on building a REST Api with Spring. At the step where the Application.java file is created and run for the first time, my application errors out with the following error.

Your application is unlikely to start due to a component scan of the default package.

Thank you for that Soumasish! That seemed to be the same problem I was having.

Hmm sorry to hear that.

Are you sure you have the @SpringBootApplication annotation like in my code on GitHub.

Thanks for the response. Humbled that you chose to respond directly Craig. Appreciate that. I figured out the issue. I had not created a root package inside my java folder. The Models/Repositories had their separate packages but the Application class was sitting at the root of the java folder. It seems Spring doesn't like that and thus threw up and error. Now that I moved it one level down, everything works fine.
