The default @ComponntScan for Spring boot(the one that @SpringBootApplication inherits) scans the current package and all it's sub packages.

In the first case Project.java is in the same package as Application.java, so it's ok.

To make Project work from another package change the name to com.gehive.microservice.application.entities or whatever sub-package of the one with the main class.

Usually I keep the bootstraping class and all the configuration classes in package named <com|org|etc>.<myCompany>.<myProject> and then create the other packages as sub packages of this one.

Spring Data JPA has some other conditions related to the packages. Take a look at the Docs
