You don't have to use the spring-boot-starter-parent, it's just a way to get started quickly. All it provides are dependency management and plugin management. You can do both yourself, and you can use the spring-boot-dependencies (or equivalently the parent) to manage dependencies if you want a halfway step. To do that, use scope=import like this

    
        
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-dependencies
            pom
            1.0.2.RELEASE
            import
