Spring boot with custom parent - working example

Question

I am looking for working example of Spring Boot maven application without reference to spring-boot-starter-parent as a parent pom.

I found some words about that in Spring Boot Docs - http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.0.1.RELEASE/reference/htmlsingle/#using-boot-maven-your-own-parent but I still have problem with pluginManagement. Should I copy&paste all the pluginManagement section from spring-boot-starter-parent and spring-boot-dependencies?

Should I copy&paste all the pluginManagement section from spring-boot-starter-parent and spring-boot-dependencies?

That would work. Some might call it the "nuclear option" though (i.e. for your given use case you are unlikely to need all of it).
