spring org.springframework.stereotype not visible

Ensure that you have the necessary Spring dependencies in your project's build configuration file, such as Maven or Gradle.

Make sure your project is correctly structured as a Spring project with the appropriate directory layout.

Check that the Spring Framework library is included in your project's classpath.

Verify that the package containing the @Component annotation, which is part of the org.springframework.stereotype package, is imported in the Java file where you are using it.

Confirm that the class or interface where you are trying to use the @Component annotation is annotated with @Component or its specialized stereotype annotations like @Controller, @Service, or @Repository.

Ensure that the package containing the class or interface with the @Component annotation is within the component scan base package. This is typically configured in the @SpringBootApplication annotation or through explicit configuration using @ComponentScan.

Check for any typos or misspelled package names in your code, including the package declaration of the Java file.

Verify that there are no compilation issues in your project that might prevent the correct resolution of the @Component annotation.

If you are using an IDE, try rebuilding your project or restarting the IDE to ensure that any changes to the configuration or dependencies are applied.

If the issue persists, review the Spring documentation and relevant resources to troubleshoot and identify potential issues in your project configuration.
