You should run the   mvn spring-boot run from the folder where your pom xml file is located and refer to this answer https   stackoverflow com a 33602837 4918021

If you are running the  mvn spring-boot run   from the command line  make sure you are in the directory that contains the pom xml file  Otherwise  you will run into the No plugin found for prefix  spring-boot  in the current project and in the plugin groups error

If you don t want to use   lt parent gt     lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt     lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-parent lt  artifactId gt     lt version gt       lt  version gt   lt  parent gt    as a parent POM  you may use the  mvn org springframework boot spring-boot-maven-plugin run   command instead

User · Answer

Instead of using the full plugin name  with groupId  like described in Bartosz s answer  you could add  lt pluginGroups gt       lt pluginGroup gt org springframework boot lt  pluginGroup gt   lt  pluginGroups gt   to your  m2 settings xml

Adding spring-boot-maven-plugin in the build resolved it in my case   lt build gt       lt finalName gt mysample-web lt  finalName gt       lt plugins gt       lt plugin gt           lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt spring-boot-maven-plugin lt  artifactId gt           lt dependencies gt               lt dependency gt                   lt groupId gt org springframework lt  groupId gt                   lt artifactId gt springloaded lt  artifactId gt                   lt version gt 1 2 1 RELEASE lt  version gt               lt  dependency gt           lt  dependencies gt       lt  plugin gt       lt  plugins gt   lt  build gt

Typos are a possible reason for this error  Be sure to check you wrote spring-boot and not e g  springboot or sprint-boot or springbok or whatever  Also check the ordering    use spring-boot run and not run spring-boot

You might want to add the following to your pom and try compiling      lt repositories gt           lt repository gt               lt id gt spring-snapshots lt  id gt               lt url gt http   repo spring io libs-snapshot lt  url gt               lt snapshots gt                   lt enabled gt true lt  enabled gt               lt  snapshots gt           lt  repository gt       lt  repositories gt       lt pluginRepositories gt           lt pluginRepository gt               lt id gt spring-snapshots lt  id gt               lt url gt http   repo spring io libs-snapshot lt  url gt               lt snapshots gt                   lt enabled gt true lt  enabled gt               lt  snapshots gt           lt  pluginRepository gt       lt  pluginRepositories gt

Make sure pom xml exist in the directory  when using the mvn spring-boot run command  No need to add any thing in the pom xml file

User · Answer

If you are using Spring Boot for application  forgetting to add        lt parent gt       lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-parent lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 1 2 7 RELEASE lt  version gt    lt  parent gt    can cause this issue  as well as missing these lines    lt repositories gt       lt repository gt           lt id gt spring-releases lt  id gt           lt url gt https   repo spring io libs-release lt  url gt       lt  repository gt   lt  repositories gt   lt pluginRepositories gt       lt pluginRepository gt           lt id gt spring-releases lt  id gt           lt url gt https   repo spring io libs-release lt  url gt       lt  pluginRepository gt   lt  pluginRepositories gt
