Spring Boot 项目旨在简化创建产品级的 Spring 应用和服务。你可通过它来选择不同的 Spring 平台。可创建独立的 Java 应用和 Web 应用，同时提供了命令行工具来允许 'spring scripts'.
下图显示 Spring Boot 在 Spring 生态中的位置：
该项目主要的目的是：
为 Spring 的开发提供了更快更广泛的快速上手
使用默认方式实现快速开发
提供大多数项目所需的非功能特性，诸如：嵌入式服务器、安全、心跳检查、外部配置等
Spring Boot 不生成代码，完全无需 XML 配置。
新建一个Maven项目，修改POM加载需要的依赖

<!-- 这里一定要配置上java的版本，如果是1.7版本的可不用配置
<java.version>1.6</java.version>-->
<!-- 配置你的tomcat版本
<tomcat.version>7.0.55</tomcat.version> -->

</project>看到以前的一些文章用的都是1.0版本，但是使用时Jar冲突问题非常突出，后来在IBM网站看到有更高版本，另外取消对J2EE的引用，就可以跑起来了。
编写Controller文件
package com.test3;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
@RestController
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/test")
String home() {
return "Hello World baby!";
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}直接运行Main方法，请求根路径http://localhost:8080/test 会打印一句话。
注意，这里虽然以Http方式启动了，但是仅用于测试SpringMVC的接口程序，如果你访问http://localhost:8080/index.jsp 会看到，不会解析JSP。
访问Spring提供的接口
附上示例代码：
网上有人总结的遇到的问题：
1.springboot 的logback-classes-1.1.2.jar的包下有一个org.slf4j.impl包 这是springboot真正需要的包而MyEclipse自带的javaEE6.0library里也有一个slf4j包但它不是springboot所需要的，会一直报 NoSuchMethod异常getSingleton()。所以测试事暂时不添加javaEE6.0Library。
2.官方文档的例子都是用java7运行的。不配置<java.version>1.6</java.version>的话可能 会报版本异常的错误。
3.如果也不配置tomcat版本的话springboot默认会使用8.x版本的tomcat。所以要加一个<tomcat.version>7.0.55</tomcat.version>来指定你所使用的tomcat版本(视你CATALINA_HOME配 置的所定)。
运行成功，后台打印：
