Using spring-boot-starter dependency on a non boot project, Is a good practice?

lets say that I need to develop a not boot app to develop an application that uses redis cache to store and retrive data.

I can use the spring-boot-starter dependency instead adding multiple dependencies, and it is working fine.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-redis</artifactId>
   <version>1.5.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Now my question.. Is it a good practice to add spring-boot-starter dependency on a non boot project?

Sure you can, just keep in mind that it will bring some transitive dependencies into your project, like org.springframework.spring-{context,beans,core,tx,...}.
