Spring Spring-Boot dependency consistency

Checking spring-boot-starter-xxx with the maven-enforcer-plugin shows that several spring-boot-starter projects do not depend on the same dependency versions.

TODO: Add a check for the upcomming next minor version that all official spring-boot-starter projects depend on the same dependency versions.

You must ensure that your application is inheriting the parent POM or that it's applying the Spring Boot dependency management - Spring Boot provides a consistent set of versions with those options.
