gs-accessing-data-mysql: Example fails to start with HikariDataSource related error

Hi!

First of all, thank you very much for all the work you’re putting in the examples and docs: It really makes the difference when learning new topics! 🥇

When running the example in the ./complete/ directory, with the only changed being done on my side is the update of the username/pass for the database i’m getting the following error: Failed to bind properties under '' to com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource

See the complete start log below:

APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Failed to bind properties under '' to com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource:

    Property: driverclassname
    Value: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    Origin: "driverClassName" from property source "source"
    Reason: Unable to set value for property driver-class-name

Action:

Update your application's configuration

If i downgrade the version of the spring-boot-starter-parent to 2.0.0.RELEASE the application works without problems.

Thank you very much!
