Clarify that support for Spring Boot 3.5.x is available through the springBoot-3.0 feature

[yeekangc]

Please describe the problem you are having with the documentation. Is information missing, inaccurate, or unclear? Tell us about the context where you encountered the problem so we can understand how to address it.

https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/reference/feature/springBoot-3.0.html indicates that the feature supports 3.x.x. Then, in https://openliberty.io/docs/latest/deploy-spring-boot.html, it's unclear that this feature actually supports Spring Boot versions beyond 3.0.x.

If your application uses Spring Boot 3.0.4+, enable the springBoot-3.0 feature.

Update the deploy-spring-boot document to indicate Spring Boot 3.5.x is supported. Or, 3.x.x is supported via the springBoot-3.0 feature.

HI @yeekangc

Suggested correction has been made to the deploy-spring-boot document.

Draft link: https://docs-draft-openlibertyio.mqj6zf7jocq.us-south.codeengine.appdomain.cloud/docs/latest/deploy-spring-boot.html

Please review the same and add the "Developer Reviewed" label if you are satisfied with the changes.

Thanks.

What about something like the below? @tjwatson, what do you think?

If your application uses Spring Boot 3.0.4+ (including later versions such as 3.5.x in the 3.x.x stream), enable the springBoot-3.0 feature.

I think we should go with something like what @yeekangc suggests but I think we should do it for all 3 major versions:

• If your application uses Spring Boot 1+ (including versions such as 1.5.22 in the 1.x.x stream), enable the springBoot-1.5 feature.
• If your application uses Spring Boot 2+ (including versions such as 2.7.18 in the 2.x.x stream), enable the springBoot-2.0 feature.
• If your application uses Spring Boot 3+ (including versions such as 3.5.6 in the 3.x.x stream), enable the springBoot-3.0 feature.
