Spring Boot 项目提供了快速启动一个Spring项目，假设一个使用Hibernate2的CRUD的web应用项目，Maven配置如下：

< xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" >

org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-parent
0.5.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

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


org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-data-jpa


org.thymeleaf
thymeleaf-spring3


org.springframework.boot
spring-boot-starter-jetty


org.hsqldb
hsqldb
runtime


junit
junit
test


org.hamcrest
hamcrest-library
test

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

而如果你使用传统方式配置Maven项目，将是下面可怕的配置：

.....
