It seems yes, can you help to investigate it?

Hi @LeeGuoPing , looks spring.provides is removed from Spring Boot 2.1, see Spring Boot 2.1 Release Notes.
Currently, ShardingSphere depend on <spring-boot.version>[1.5.20.RELEASE,2.0.0.M1)</spring-boot.version>.
We'd better keep spring.provides for now.

@RaigorJiang Thank you for your reply

[RaigorJiang]

Does shardingsphere's springboot version need to be upgraded?

[LeeGuoPing]

By the way, the package name is shardingsphere-jdbc-core-spring-boot-starter，the spring.provides content is shardingsphere-jdbc-spring-boot-starter. And in other places, the package name is same with spring.provides content. Is the content not must the same with package?
