Version missing in dependencies for spring parent

Question

I have the following pom.xml:

  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.M2</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>auth-service</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>auth-service</name>
    <description>Authorization service</description>

    <properties>
        <java.version>11</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.SR1</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.security.oauth</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-security-oauth2</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
            <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        </dependency>
        <dependency>

            <artifactId>spring-security-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

        <!--        For Eureka Client-->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

I keep getting error about missing version.

'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.security.oauth:spring-security-oauth2:jar is missing. @ line 34, column 21 [ERROR]
'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client:jar is missing. @ line 56, column 21

Isn't it that spring parent should provide those versions?

How to provide the right versions and why the spring boot-parrent is not providing one?

Answer 1

I can see you have spring.cloud.version but there is no such dependencyManagement import like below (which will import all versions for child dependencies). Kindly note that <spring-cloud-netflix.version>2.1.1.RELEASE</spring-cloud-netflix.version> is available in this spring-cloud-dependencies pom file.

The spring-boot-starter-parent will not have any dependencies for org.springframework.cloud group.

    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.0.M2</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>auth-service</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <name>auth-service</name>
    <description>Authorization service</description>

    <properties>
        <java.version>11</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
        <spring-cloud.version>Greenwich.SR1</spring-cloud.version>
    </properties>
