SpringBoot起步依赖原理

一、分析spring-boot-starter-parent

按住Ctrl点击pom.xml中的spring-boot-starter-parent，跳转到了spring-boot-starter-parent的pom.xml，xml配置如下（只摘抄了部分重点配置）：

<parent>
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
   <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
   <relativePath>../../spring-boot-dependencies</relativePath>
 </parent>
  ....

按住Ctrl点击pom.xml中的spring-boot-starter-dependencies，跳转到了spring-boot-starter-dependencies的pom.xml，xml配置如下（只摘抄了部分重点配置）：

<properties>
    <activemq.version>5.15.12</activemq.version>
    <antlr2.version>2.7.7</antlr2.version>
    <appengine-sdk.version>1.9.79</appengine-sdk.version>
    <artemis.version>2.10.1</artemis.version>
    <aspectj.version>1.9.5</aspectj.version>
    <assertj.version>3.13.2</assertj.version>
    <atomikos.version>4.0.6</atomikos.version>
    <awaitility.version>4.0.2</awaitility.version>
    <bitronix.version>2.1.4</bitronix.version>
    <build-helper-maven-plugin.version>3.0.0</build-helper-maven-plugin.version>
    <byte-buddy.version>1.10.8</byte-buddy.version>
  	... ... ...
</properties>
<dependencyManagement>
  	<dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-test</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-test-autoconfigure</artifactId>
        <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
      </dependency>
      	... ... ...
	</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<build>
  	<pluginManagement>
    	<plugins>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.johnzon</groupId>
          <artifactId>johnzon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${johnzon.version}</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.jetbrains.kotlin</groupId>
          <artifactId>kotlin-maven-plugin</artifactId>
          <version>${kotlin.version}</version>
        </plugin>
        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.jooq</groupId>
          <artifactId>jooq-codegen-maven</artifactId>
          <version>${jooq.version}</version>
        </plugin>
          	... ... ...
    	</plugins>
  	</pluginManagement>
</build>

从上面的spring-boot-starter-dependencies的pom.xml中我们可以发现，一部分坐标的版本、依赖管理、插件管理已经定义好，所以我们的SpringBoot工程继承spring-boot-starter-parent后已经具备版本锁定等配置了。所以起步依赖的作用就是进行依赖的传递。

二、分析spring-boot-starter-web

按住Ctrl点击pom.xml中的spring-boot-starter-web，跳转到了spring-boot-starter-web的pom.xml，xml配置如下（只摘抄了部分重点配置）：

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-json</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-validation</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.6.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
    <exclusions>
      <exclusion>
        <artifactId>tomcat-embed-el</artifactId>
        <groupId>org.apache.tomcat.embed</groupId>
      </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>5.2.5.RELEASE</version>
    <scope>compile</scope>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

从上面的spring-boot-starter-web的pom.xml中我们可以发现，spring-boot-starter-web就是将web开发要使用的spring-web、spring-webmvc等坐标进行了“打包”，这样我们的工程只要引入spring-boot-starter-web起步依赖的坐标就可以进行web开发了，同样体现了依赖传递的作用。
