<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.2.6.RELEASE</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
When spring-boot-starter-parent is used as parent, then it includes many unnecessary dependencies. Like in my case it fetches the dependencies for (spring-mobile-device , spring-social-facebook , spring-social-linkedin , org.apache.activemq ) which i don't want.
If I open my effective POM(with get's auto created) , it's contains hell lot of dependencies which i don't want.
Is there any way to remove the unnecessary dependencies which are not used in the project? Is there a tool to identify such dependencies?
Any help is appreciated :)
Thanks
