title: Spring Boot Annotations cannot be found
body: <p>I've created a new Spring Boot project with the Spring Initializr and implemented a REST API with the Spring Boot RestController annotation. Errors occurred regarding the import and usage of the ResponseEntity class after adding a React Frontend into the application.</p>
  <p>I don't know why the React app would interfere with anything on the Spring Boot backend, because the only connections they have are the endpoints that get called via axios from React. It's also very weird that this problem occurs globally in all of my Spring Boot projects all of a sudden.</p>
  <p><strong>Edit: Not a single Spring Boot annotation works anymore, it's not just about ResponseEntity</strong></p>
