We will start with building our first Spring Boot application in this chapter. We will use Maven to manage dependencies.
The following steps are involved in starting up with a Spring Boot application:
- Configure
spring-boot-starter-parent
in yourpom.xml
file. - Configure the
pom.xml
file with the required starter projects. - Configure
spring-boot-maven-plugin
to be able to run the application. - Create your first Spring Boot launch class.
Let's start with step 1: configuring the starter projects.
Let's start with a simple pom.xml
file with spring-boot-starter-parent
:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <groupId>com.mastering.spring</groupId> <artifactId>springboot-example...
