title: org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication can not be resolved
body: <p>I am trying to Run a web-service server as standalone application using the spring-boot (1.2.4.RELEASE). I have refereed the tutorial provided <a href="https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/" rel="nofollow">here</a> spring site.</p>
  
  <p>But in my application I am unable to locate org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication class in any of the APIs of spring boot.</p>
  
  <p>Below is pom.xml file I am using for this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;parent&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-parent&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;1.2.4.RELEASE&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/parent&gt;
  &lt;dependencies&gt;
      &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
      &lt;dependency&gt;
          &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
          &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-starter-web&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  
  &lt;build&gt;
      &lt;plugins&gt;
          &lt;plugin&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
          &lt;/plugin&gt;
      &lt;/plugins&gt;
  &lt;/build&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help me to find out what could be wrong in this.</p>
