Description
For a Spring Boot project created through https://start.spring.io, with some starter dependencies and based with Maven .
And of course, imported into the IDE:
File->Import->Maven- >Existing Maven Projects
And taking then the scenario when later is need it to add another starter dependencies, therefore is possible do:
- Select the
pom.xmlfile -> Right Click ->Spring->Add Starters
The current situation and reason of this post
- Is not possible define a custom location of the new starter - it either prior or after - to be added in the pom.xml.
For example between 2 specific starters or either at the top or bottom of the pom.xml file. The current approach is do the updates and later open manually the pom.xml and apply the custom locations
Thanks for your understanding
