Unable to run Spring Boot Application of Java 17
Just as a sanity test I tried to compile and then run the default Spring-Boot start application.
I compiled the project into a Jar file with Maven but when I tired to run the application I received the following output:
[@YCApp61 ~/WorkDir]$ java -jar ./MyService-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar com.myCompany.myApp.MyServiceApplication

The machine I am trying to run on is Java 17.  Am I missing some jvm arguments or am I passing them incorrectly?

The console output shows you are running Spring Boot 1.2.7, but support for Java 17 was introduced in Spring Boot 2.5.5.

Yes...use most recent version of Spring Boot 2.6.X minimum at the moment...

Chin Huang was correct above, changing to project to use version 2.6.3 of spring-boot fixed the issue.
