[FIXED] Spring boot: Unable to start embedded Tomcat servlet container

Issue

I'm new to Spring Boot and having with error while running my application. I'm following a tutorial and I believe I'm having proper parent and dependencies with POM, please help me

main class:

package com.boot;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;

/**
 * Hello world!
 *
 */

@SpringBootApplication
public class App 
{
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        SpringApplication.run(App.class, "hello");
    }
}

error is:
