Issue
I am currently creating my first Spring Boot application. Unfortunately, I get an error right at the beginning that I can't understand.
POM
Only some rudimentary dependencies are defined here. Java 8 and Spring Boot 2.0.1 are to be used.

App
Here the application is defined as a SpringBoot application. The autoconfig should actually make everything work automatically.
package carWasher;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);
}
}
