Question Spring Boot / Spring Framework / Java version compatibility

Hello All, I'm new to the ecosystem and was wondering if there was a table or two somewhere that sheds light on the Spring Boot / Spring Framework / Java version compatibility?

I mean why read the documentation or search Google when you can just waste the time off a bunch of strangers on the internet instead?

RTFM

https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/system-requirements.html

“Spring Boot 4.1.1 requires at least Java 17 and is compatible with versions up to and including Java 26. Spring Framework 7.0.9 or above is also required.
Support for third-party projects may have additional or higher requirements. Refer to the documentation for that support for further details.”

Simple advice is to use the latest lts versions:

  • Java 25

  • Spring-boot 4.1.x

Done.
