Getting started with Spring Boot and OAuth2 maven dependencies - spring-boot

Question

I am trying to develop a simple application with Spring Boot 2 and OAuth2. I am following the tutorial at http://websystique.com/spring-security/secure-spring-rest-api-using-oauth2/ but I am facing problem with what maven dependencies to include in my project. My pom.xml is as under
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I am getting the following error while running maven install

Please help.
I tried providing <version> in my dependency, that solved the build problem but got the following problem at runtime.

Answer 1

You have not specified the version for your dependency, That is causing the error.
Provide <version> for all your springboot dependencies.
Try changing to pom.xml's org.springframework.security.oauth to below
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security.oauth</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-oauth2</artifactId>
<version>2.1.3.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Also notice that <groupId> should be changed from org.springframework.boot to org.springframework.security.oauth
