Spring Boot support maven multi-module - spring

I am trying to convert my existing multi-module maven Spring project to Spring Boot project. The reason is make it self contain and follow Martain Fowler's microservices concept.
However, the problem I have encounter is when try to clean build, seems the spring boot is trying to find the Main method from every module, which of course will failed.
Is this feature currently supported by Spring Boot 1.1.6.RELEASE or I did something wrong?
Thanks

It sounds like you've added Spring Boot's Maven plugin to every module in your build – it's what's looking for a main method. You should only add the Spring Boot plugin to a module if its a service that you want to run. If the module's just code that's shared between your services, the Spring Boot plugin isn't needed in that module.

How to create a maven plugin by using Spring Boot

I am creating a Maven plugin following the maven tutorial https://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html.
As my plugin is complex, I want to take advantage of Spring Boot projects (modules like Spring data Neo4j and others). My question is how can I use Spring Boot to create a maven plugin? Any example is appreciated if possible.

How to discover which spring jar includes a spring package and class?

I am upgrading the libraries on a system and am implementing spring boot. But, there are some dependencies that have to be added over and above the spring boot starters, and some of these are Spring classes.
How can I tell which library a package and class is coming from? The documentation for the class does not seem to provide this...
If i'm understanding correctly, what i do is looking for Compile Dependencies in the maven repos.

Spring Boot web app without maven

Friends,
I am trying to build a Spring boot project. but the challenge is maven isn't working in office environment(basically proxy isn't allowing).
Is there any way to create a spring boot project without maven?
if I can get any boiler code link would be very helpful.
Yes, it is possible. Just add all the necessary jar in project class path manually. Example Spring boot project jar added by gradle.

Configuring Spring security with spring boot on already created project, IntelliJ

I have previous experience in Spring MVC but I am new to Spring Boot.
I am Using IntelliJ for the first time.
What I noticed is that when you create a Spring boot project with security dependencies added during the time of creation, Then the IDE creates the project already configured With Basic Authentication whereas if I add dependencies to pom.xml after creation, then the application won't get configured with basic authentication automatically.
Can anyone explain this behavior of IntelliJ and can anyone help me with steps for configuring the pre-created project with Basic Authentication?
IntelliJ is using
https://start.spring.io/
to initialise your project. After the project is initialised, the IDE doesn't modify your code in any way. That is the normal behaviour and it is not Spring Boot related.
NOTE: The dependency that you add in your pom.xml is just pulling down that dependency, but if you need to use it you do the code yourself. (More information about Maven: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Maven)

adding spring-data-rest ontop of spring-data-jpa

i created a maven project, and added all dependencies i need.
i have some repositories using the spring-data-jpa, and i added some integration tests.
now i need to add ontop of it spring-data-rest, if i understand it is based on springmvc.
but all examples i found, i need to add spring boot to start the app.
i noticed also all new spring projects use spring boot.
this means that i have to learn and use it for my projects?
how can i use spring-data-jpa+spring-data-jpa with an existing servlet3 project
The reason all examples are written using Boot is that Boot is indeed the way you should start a new Spring project these days. It free's from a lot of the tedious work of setting up the infrastructure, finding dependencies in the right version etc.
To use Spring Data REST without Boot, simply add the necessary dependencies to your project. The easiest way to do this is to use the Spring Data Release Train BOM (which will help you pulling in the correct matching versions) along side the version-less dependency declarations for Spring Data REST WebMVC and - in your case - Spring Data JPA.
Then go ahead and either register RepositoryRestMvcConvfiguration as Spring bean (either through XML configuration or JavaConfig).
All of this is also documented in the reference documentation.
