Non-resolvable parent POM in MAVEN Project - spring-boot

Question

I'm trying to add dependencies to my maven project. I want to add spring boot configuration. but it gives this error in parent tag,
Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM for
io.javabrains.springbootquickstart:course-api:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failure
to find
org.springframework-boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.4.2.RELEASE
in https:// repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local
repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update
interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced and
'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM
I tried with adding relative path to this. But it didn't seem to work out.
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

</project>

Answer 1

You’ve made a small typo in the configuration of your project’s parent. You have used a - rather than a .. You have org.springframework-boot and it should be org.springframework.boot.
Your parent should be the following:
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.4.2.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
