Can I convert Maven Project to SpringBoot

Question

I have a Maven Project in Eclipse and now I need to add database connectivity. My textbook did all json tutorials in Maven. Now in this chapter on JDBC they are using SpringBoot

Answer 1

Here is described how to use maven for a SpringBoot Project.

You will need to modify your existing pom.xml to add something like this to make it a SpringBoot Project:

    org.springframework.boot
    spring-boot-starter-parent
    1.2.2.RELEASE




    
        org.springframework.boot
        spring-boot-starter-web
    




    
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-maven-plugin
