Unable to build the jar with maven-jar-plugin

Question

I am using maven-compiler-plugin 3.1 When I try to do 'Run As---> Maven install', I am getting the following error :

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:2.3.2:jar (default-jar) on project test-tom: Error assembling JAR: For artifact {org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat:null:jar}: The version cannot be empty.

Use the appropriate parent and of Spring Boot as stated in the docs and run a `mvn clean package` on command line... — khmarbaise, Jan 08 '18 at 18:19

Excluded the tomcat depends from spring boot starter

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-boot.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
