Answer 1

The answer provided by Andy only works when your POM inherits from spring-boot-dependencies. When spring-boot-dependencies is added through dependencyManagement, you have to redefine all the artifacts that you want to override. Bummer!

This is also stated in the document referenced by Andy (it might have been added later).
