maven - Spring boot starter parent 2.0.0 not found dependency

Question

I decided to update my spring-boot-starter-parent to version 2.0.0.M1 in order to use it with Spring Core 5.0.0.RC1.

But, i am having issues downloading the dependency from the Spring milestone repository.

My pom.xml

I have a "clean sheat" .m2 settings.xml, and i have cleaned my local repository, and made sure i can connect to the spring milestone repository.

Answer 1

Add Spring Plugin Release Repo to Plugin-Repositories. So that it can find the spring-boot-maven-plugin-2.0.0.M1.jar. I have seen that it contains in that repo

Add the below lines under <project> tag as like:

<project>
<!------ others lines -->
    <pluginRepositories>
        <pluginRepository>
            <id>repository.spring.release</id>
            <name>Spring GA Repository</name>
            <url>https://repo.spring.io/plugins-release/</url>
        </pluginRepository>
    </pluginRepositories>
</project>

EDIT

As I have no com.test.testplugin, I have checked with the followings. Please, remove the <dependencyManagement> and put <dependencies> under <project>. Final pom.xml looks like:
