Spring boot: error asking to implement all methods in JpaRepository - spring-boot

Question

Why is this happening? It didn't happen when I worked on a spring project in STS few months back.
I have imported the following in the class:
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
Following is my pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Answer 1

A Custom Repository has to be an interface and this has to extend from JpaRepository or CrudRepository or PagingAndSortingRepository or MongoRepository, so update by following way:
#Repository
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {....}
