attached pom file: parent pom module pom

Answer

You are using the wrong parent in your pom.xml file. You are using spring-boot-parent but it should be spring-boot-starter-parent.

Update the pom.xml of explorer-parent so that its <parent> looks like this:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
