Spring Boot guide presents a demo example where to run the application ./mvnw spring-boot:run command inside the ‘complete’ folder/directory is used, in the case we are using the build framework maven. I tried this command from my windows power shell as well as command prompt but it displays the message “Spring was unexpected this time.”
