It is so easy to learn your spring boot version. To learn that you have to look at the following files (according to project tool you are using):

  • If you are using maven as a project tool, please open the pom.xml file (located at the root of the project) and find the version number of the package called spring-boot-starter-parent:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	<parent>
		<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
		<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
		<version>3.0.0</version> <!-- You are using spring boot version 3.0.0 -->
		<relativePath/>
	</parent>
	<groupId>com.example</groupId>
	<artifactId>demo</artifactId>
	<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<name>demo</name>
	<description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description>
	<properties>
		<java.version>17</java.version>
	</properties>
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
		</dependency>

		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
			<scope>test</scope>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>

	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
				<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>

</project>
  • If you are using Gradle (with Groovy), please open the build.gradle file (located at the root of the project):
plugins {
	id 'java'
	id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.0.0' // You are using spring boot version 3.0.0
  // ...
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

java {
	sourceCompatibility = '17'
}

repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
	implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter'
	testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
  • If you are using Gradle (with Kotlin), please open the build.gradle.kts file (located at the root of the project):
plugins {
	java
	id("org.springframework.boot") version "3.0.0" // You are using spring boot version 3.0.0
}

group = "com.example"
version = "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"

java {
	sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}

repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
	implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter")
	testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
}

tasks.withType<Test> {
	useJUnitPlatform()
}
