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

Yes you can use Springboot with Maven as dependency management. You will have to add spring boot dependencies

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

Also add @SpringBootApplication and @EnableAutoConfiguration in the main class
