After adding jpa dependencies and updating maven got this error: Cannot nest 'spring-mvc-app2/src/main/java/resources' inside 'spring-mvc-app2/src/main/java'.To enable the nesting exclude 'resources/' from 'spring-mvc-app2/src/main/java'

end then I did it. configuration

but the error didn't go away.

There is already a similar question on this site but the answers did not help me.

I have another project with the same pom.xml and everything works there.

How do I solve it?

CodePudding user response：

You might be getting this because of your resources folder is in wrong directory in your case resources is in src/main/java/resources but i think it should be src/main/resources. Try checking this once. PROJECT STRUCTURE
