Spring Boot quickstart does not exist in maven repository?

Question

Looking at Spring Boot here:

http://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/#quick-start

It appears the "Quick Start" says to include:

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1.RELEASE</version>
</parent>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

The following are my current repositories:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>spring-milestones</id>
        <url>http://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>spring-milestones</id>
        <url>http://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

I get a connection timed out exception and when I actually look at the repository...

http://repo.spring.io/milestone/org/springframework/boot/spring-boot-starter-parent/

There is no 1.0.1! Is there some other repository that the pom.xml should contain?

Error:

Project build error: Non-resolvable parent POM: Failure to transfer org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-parent:pom:1.0.0.RC5 from http://repo.spring.io/
 milestone was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of spring-milestones has elapsed or updates are forced.

It exists in central repository add following to your pom.xml

<project ...>
<repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>central</id>
      <url>http://central.maven.org/maven2/</url>
    </repository>
 </repositories>
</project>
