My Spring boot application has the following maven dependencies. But it adds lots of extra dependencies. I believe I don't need many of them. How can I remove those dependencies I don't need? pom.xml is attached. 

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

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-devtools</artifactId>
            <optional>true</optional>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>

  • Tell us what you want your app to do and we can point out dependencies you don't need. – Kyle Anderson Nov 14 '16 at 01:48
  • Please, take a look also to this question's answer to see if it helps you. It explains how to generate a default spring boot executable package as well as a deployable file with only the needed dependencies: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37961730/spring-boot-exclude-dependencies-on-packaging/37966575#37966575 – Cèsar Nov 14 '16 at 06:33
