'An error while adding HAL Browser: Dependency 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-hal-browser:' not found

Trying to install the Hal Browser with Spring Boot, but I get the following error:

Dependency 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-hal-browser:' not found

I wonder if there is an official reference for compatibility between Spring plugins, but anyway, here I used the latest versions by default.

Here is my POM file:

    ...
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    <groupId>com.example.ec</groupId>
    <artifactId>explorecali</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>explorecali</name>

Solution 1:[1]

The package was renamed to spring-data-rest-hal-explorer. I verified that it's compatible with Spring Boot 2.5.6.

Maven example:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-data-rest-hal-explorer</artifactId>
</dependency>

Gradle example:

implementation('org.springframework.data:spring-data-rest-hal-explorer')

Solution 2:[2]

It looks like an incompatibility issue with the latest version of Spring, the solution is to downgrade Spring Boot to 2.3.5.RELEASE

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.5.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
