I've tried to google "spring boot starter inurl:spring.io/guide" and the result is depressing. There are some good articles about writing a spring boot starter, but I still hope to get a offical guide so as to solve my confusion: If i just need annotations like @ConditionalOnClass, @Configuration, @Bean, and the project, the starter I write, will only be an denpendency in another spring boot project, is it still necessary to import spring boot using

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.0.4.RELEASE</version>
    </parent>

?

Thanks a lot.

Have you seen the section about writing your own auto-configuration and starter in the reference documentation? It covers @Configuration, @Bean, @ConditionalOn…, the use of spring.factories etc.

If you’d like to see a guide on this subject, you can request one by opening an issue in the getting-started-guides project.
