Type org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext cannot be resolved

Question

I get the following error when I tried to create my first application in Spring Tool Suite:

Multiple tokens on this line - Type org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext cannot be resolved. it indirectly refers to the required .class files - Executing a method (Object, String ...) from a type of type SpringApplication refers to the missing type ConfigurableApplicationContext

This is the next pom.xml

    This is the Controller Used


    package com.welcome.demo;

    import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
    import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
    import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;


    @SpringBootApplication
    @EnableAutoConfiguration
    public class WelcomeApplication {

        public static void main(String[] args)throws Exception {
            SpringApplication.run(WelcomeApplication.class, args);
        }
    }

Can anyone help with this? what's my mistake? And he shows a red exclamation mark in the project folder.
