In Spring Boot 2.4.0-M2, neo4j.version will probably lead to confusion: It is currently used to specify the version of the Neo4j Java Driver which is most often not the same as the Neo4j server version.

I would much appreciate a change back to

<neo4j-java-driver.version>4.1.1</neo4j-java-driver.version>

As it was in the independent driver starter we at Neo4j developed.

Paging @meistermeier, too

The version is inferred by the name of the dependency in spring-boot-dependencies and it was originally contributed as Neo4j.

It's easy enough to rename that to Neo4j Java Driver and I agree it would be better indeed. Thanks for the suggestion.

I guess that was an oversight on our side in those huge PRs. Thanks for the quick fix, much appreciated.
