mavenspring-boot

pom.xml parent tag error

I am trying to create spring boot application in my local using maven. Bit im getting below error.

**Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM for io.spring.boot.quickstart:course-api:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.4.2-RELEASE in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) and 'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM**

Pom.xml :

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.2-RELEASE</version>
  </parent>


<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

Even I tries to delete .lastmodified and update project. But no luck.

Solution

  • Your version is incorrect. Correct one is:-

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

    It's 1.4.2.RELEASE and not 1.4.2-RELEASE.

    By the way your version is quite old. Latest one is 2.0.4.RELEASE. If you want to keep backward compatibility, you can increase the patch version to 7, i.e. 1.4.7.RELEASE.
