title: Maven module using spring-boot
body: <p>I like to configure my applications in maven by creating modules like;</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;groupId&gt;com.app&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;example-app&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;version&gt;0.0.1-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;packaging&gt;pom&lt;/packaging&gt;
  
  &lt;modules&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;app-api&lt;/module&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;app-impl&lt;/module&gt;
      &lt;module&gt;app-web&lt;/module&gt;
  &lt;/modules&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The modules then use the 'example-app' as the parent. </p>
  
  <p>Now I want use 'spring-boot' for my web application. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to configure maven so that my 'app-web' is a spring-boot application?</p>
  
  <p>The problem I'm facing is that you have to use spring-boot as a parent. </p>
