By using a version that uses JakartaEE and not JavaEE, as (kind of hinted at) mentioned in the first comment. — M. Deinum, Mar 13 '23 at 12:04
And there you have your solution, don't use swagger. Use OpenAPI (which appears the commonly accepted replacement). — M. Deinum, Mar 14 '23 at 06:05
ok I will try it thankyou can u share the proper version of dependency which would work for spring boot 3 — Rajesh Yadav, Mar 14 '23 at 06:57

There is a long explanation what happened to springfox here, shortly with Spring boot 3 we can use springdoc-openapi-starter-webmvc-ui which will bring swagger-ui, below you can find the full pom.xml and for full working example please check here
