Spring-boot(maven) actuator,devtools not working

I'm a newbie to spring-boot. Trying to create a simple web application using spring-boot maven. Basic static page display using dependency spring-boot-starter-web worked fine. When I included spring-boot-devtools and spring-boot-starter-actuator in pom.xml it is giving build error Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging.

I tried including spring-webmvc dependency in pom file, still the result is same.

        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

I downloaded this project from spring.io (SPRING INITIALIZR website). Build project is getting failed.

you can update your pom.xml and change the version number to any previous stable version.It worked for me.

<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>**xyz_previous_.RELEASE**</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->

<scope>runtime</scope> of spring-boot-devtools suppose not to be runtime. In fact according to the doc -

Developer tools are automatically disabled when running a fully packaged application. If your application is launched from java -jar or if it is started from a special classloader, then it is considered a “production application”. Flagging the dependency as optional in Maven or using a customdevelopmentOnly configuration in Gradle (as shown above) is a best practice that prevents devtools from being transitively applied to other modules that use your project.

So, change the dependency as below - 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
    <optional>true</optional>
</dependency>
