🚀 Need Help Running My Spring Boot Backend (React Frontend Ready!)

Hello, everyone! 👋

I'm excited to share a quick update on my latest full-stack project. I’ve been working on a web application using React for the frontend and Spring Boot for the backend. The frontend is up and running, and you can check out the code on GitHub here: [https://github.com/ocean240788/java_project1]

Here’s a screenshot of the React frontend so far:

🛠 The Issue: Backend Won’t Build with Maven
While setting up the backend using Maven 3.9.0, I’ve run into some build errors. I’m trying to get the backend server up and running, but Maven throws the following errors during installation:

I suspect it may have something to do with plugin versions or dependencies, possibly even related to Stripe integration, which I believe is part of this project.

🔍 What I’ve Tried

• Verified my Java and Maven installations

• Ran mvn clean install multiple times

• Checked for missing or misconfigured plugins

• Searched for similar issues online

Despite my efforts, the build still fails, and I haven't found a clear fix yet.

🙏 How You Can Help
If you’ve encountered similar Maven issues with Spring Boot, or if you’ve successfully run a backend with Stripe and Maven 3.9.0, I’d really appreciate your guidance. Specifically:

• Do you recognize the errors in the screenshots?

• Are there dependencies or plugin versions I should check or update?

• Is there a proper way to set up Stripe with this kind of Java backend?

Any help, feedback, or even a working Maven config example would be incredibly helpful!

Thanks so much for taking the time to read through this. I’m really passionate about learning and building, and I’d love to get this backend running so I can continue developing and testing the full application.

If you’re able to clone and successfully run the backend locally, please let me know — I’d be more than happy to collaborate or learn from your insights.

Happy coding! 💻
