title: Spring-boot no maven parent and unittests not running
body: <p>I tried modifying the spring-boot-sample-integration project's Maven build in the samples to not use a parent spring-boot-starter-parent, but to import the spring-boot-dependencies pom in the dependency management. This is because I would like to use spring boot as a Maven module to an existing project.</p>
  
  <p>All build ok; however, the junit test does not run on the Maven install lifecycle.  I´m wondering what else I need to do and why the difference. Below is the pom I used. I did not modify any of the sample classes. I just modified the pom. Any help would be most appreciated.  </p>
