SpringBoot中的parent简单理解

我们可以发现无论是SpringBoot的哪一种创建方式，创建成功后的pom，都会带个parent,这个parent的名堂，本篇就简单讲讲。

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>

我们通过看它的源码来看看，它里面到底做了啥？

<parent>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-dependencies</artifactId>
  <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
  <relativePath>../../spring-boot-dependencies</relativePath>
</parent>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
