解决IntelliJ IDEA报错Failed to read candidate component class: file [ ]； nested exception is org.

  笔者使用 IntelliJ IDEA 运行以前的一个 Spring 项目时，以前记得运行正常的代码，如今一直报错，百思不得其解。然后发现报错发生在一个普通、基础性的 Spring 方法。笔者当时报错时的运行环境如下：

笔者报错时的运行环境：

• JDK 13.0.2

• IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.2 (Ultimate Edition)

• Spring 5.1.9.RELEASE

  这个报错的信息如下：

  笔者在经过反复试验排错后，终于找到了根因。这是因为笔者报错时，使用的 Spring 依赖与 JDK 版本不兼容所导致的。因为笔者当初成功运行该项目时，使用的是低版本的 JDK，而现在运行该项目时，使用的是现在安装的 JDK。换句话说，相对于 Spring 的版本Spring 5.1.9.RELEASE，JDK 的版本JDK 13.0.2太高了。

  于是，笔者调高 Spring 的版本，将Spring 5.1.9.RELEASE改为Spring 5.2.9.RELEASE，结果运行之后，上面的报错就消失了。当然，也可以选择降低 JDK 的版本，不过笔者通常不喜欢这样做。

笔者成功运行时的运行环境：

• JDK 13.0.2

• IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1.2 (Ultimate Edition)

• Spring 5.2.9.RELEASE
