(Short) Why You Don’t Need to Specify Spring Boot Starter Versions 🚀

Ever wondered why you don’t have to manually specify the version for Spring Boot starters? Here’s a quick explanation!
🔍 Short Answer:
The version is defined in the parent block, ensuring consistency across all starters. For example, our current version is 3.3.0.
📘 Detailed Explanation:
* When you check the spring-boot-starter-parent, you’ll see it inherits from spring-boot-dependencies.
* Inside spring-boot-dependencies, there’s a dependencyManagement block.
* This block specifies the versions of dependencies, ensuring they are consistent throughout the project. It doesn’t import dependencies directly but tells Maven which versions to use.
💡 Example:
If you add spring-boot-starter-web, it automatically uses the version defined in the parent, like 3.3.0.
