title: Customize Dependency Versions in Spring boot
body: <p>I want to use <strong>Quartz</strong> 2 dependency with <code>spring 1.5.2.RELEASE</code></p>
  
  <p>There I want to <strong>override</strong> the parent spring pom dependency for the quartz dependency only.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to do this :</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;properties&gt;
      &lt;quartz.version&gt;2.3.0&lt;/quartz.version&gt;
  &lt;/properties&gt;
  
  
  &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;1.5.2.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-starter-quartz&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;/dependency&gt;
  &lt;/dependencies&gt;
  </code></pre>
