I'm using W11 with vscode and, following the README.mdI was unable to start the API.
Error:

> Task :run FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':run'.
> No main class specified and classpath is not an executable jar.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

I found the solution executing ./gradlew bootRun instead of ./gradlew run. Maybe we can update the README.md adding ./gradlew bootRun command on the 6 step in case of error.
All the previous steps worked fine. :)

The main difference between ./gradlew bootRun and ./gradlew run is:

./gradlew bootRun : standard gradle'run' task with additional Spring Boot features. e.g. you can type: bootRun {addResources = false}check github.

./gradlew run: standard gradle 'run' task.
