We have to create a new maven project. The IDE used on this tutorial will be Eclipse (Version: Oxygen.3a)

At the menu select: File>New>Other>Maven>Maven Project

Select: Create a simple project (skip archetype selection)

Click Next.

Full fill the group id filed and the artifact id, then click finish button. This action will create your project.

Let's configurate the pom.xml file, there you will put all project's dependencies.

Lombok
H2
Test
Web
Data JPA
Thymeleaf

First, we have to set the parent artifact. This parent artifact will define the version of the other dependencies.

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.6.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath />
</parent>

Then, put the rest of the dependencies.

<dependencies>
    <!-- Framework - Lombok -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
        <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Database - H2 -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.h2database</groupId>
        <artifactId>h2</artifactId>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Spring Boot - Test -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
        <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Spring Boot - Web -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Spring Boot - Data JPA -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-jpa</artifactId>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
    <!-- Thymeleaf -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

The next step is to create a new class to run the application.

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
@SpringBootApplication

public class App {

public static void main(String[] args) {

SpringApplication.run(App.class, args);

//Spring Boot (Building a web application - Running) - Part 2

}

}

That's it.

Just run the application and you will see it working.
