How to override managed version of dependencies in Spring Boot

Spring Boot allows us to change the Java version using:

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>

Is there any property to change Java EE version or spring version in my spring Boot pom.xml

?

I am currently overriding the managed version using:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
    <artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.1</version>
</dependency>

Is there a better way to do this, like just setting properties?

Spring Boot 1.2.3 gives you spring 4.1.6 by default. How can I get spring Boot to point me to 4.1.5 just by setting properties?

This in yours pom.xml

should do it:

<properties>
    <spring.version>4.1.5.RELEASE</spring.version>
</properties>

Everything straight from the docs .



Before moving on to redefining versions of dependencies overboard, heed this advice (from the link above):

Each Spring Boot release is designed and tested against a specific set of third-party dependencies. Overriding versions can lead to compatibility issues.
