It is a compilation failure, there are some requirements to run spring boot 3 see it:
Spring Boot 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT requires Java 17. Spring Framework 6.0.0-M3 or above is also required.
I saw in your log that you have this error:
[ERROR] class file has wrong version 61.0, should be 52.0
Have you checked the java version?
Also, Maven needs to be a minimum 3.5x version
Please check the requirements: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/3.0.0-SNAPSHOT/reference/htmlsingle/#getting-started.system-requirements

You can try to check your JDK version, or clean your local gradle cache repository and let it download again.

You can get the latest JDK here:

My Java version is 8. When I run it through IDEs it works fine. But when I try to package , it gives the error. Attached POM. Which latest version of spring boot is compatible with 8 pom - Copy.zip
Comment From: pruidong
Spring Boot 2.x version supports Java 8 .
Comment From: pruidong
Spring Boot 3.x version requires minimum JDK 17, you should upgrade your JDK or use Spring Boot 2.X.
class file has wrong version 61.0, should be 52.0
The reason for this exception is:
Spring Framework uses JDK17 to compile, and you use JDK8 to compile here, resulting in inconsistent class file versions and throwing exceptions.
