title: Non-resolvable parent POM in SpringBoot
body: <p>I am trying to setup a Maven project for a Spring Boot application but while trying to save the pom.xml file I am getting this following issue:</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM for<br>
    io.javabrains.springbootquickstart:course-api:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Could
    not find artifact<br>
    org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:${revision} in
    central (https://  repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) and
    'parent.relativePath' points at wrong local POM</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is my pom.xml file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" 
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 
  http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"&gt;
  
  
    &lt;modelVersion&gt;4.0.0&lt;/modelVersion&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;io.javabrains.springbootquickstart&lt;/groupId&gt;
    &lt;artifactId&gt;course-api&lt;/artifactId&gt;
   &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
   &lt;name&gt;Java Api course&lt;/name&gt;
  
  
   &lt;parent&gt;
      &lt;!-- Your own application should inherit from spring-boot-starter-parent --&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.4.2 RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
    &lt;/parent&gt;
  
  
  
   &lt;dependencies&gt;
     &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-web&lt;/artifactId&gt;
     &lt;/dependency&gt;
   &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  &lt;/project&gt;
