    </parent>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>my-app</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>jar</packaging>

    <properties>
        <java.version>21</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>

## Dependency Management

```xml
<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <!-- BOM import -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>2023.0.0</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
```

## Common Commands

```bash
mvn clean install              # Build and install
mvn clean install -DskipTests  # Skip tests
mvn dependency:tree            # Show dependency tree
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates  # Check updates
mvn spring-boot:run            # Run Spring Boot app
```
