The following dependencies will be shared between all the projects:

<parent> 
   <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId> 
   <version>2.0.2.RELEASE</version> 
   <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository --> 
</parent> 
 
<properties> 
   <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> 
   <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding> 
   <java.version>1.8</java.version> 
   <spring-cloud.version>Finchley.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</spring-cloud.version> 
</properties> 
 
<dependencies> 
   <dependency> 
         <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>

<dependencyManagement> 
   <dependencies>

               <scope>import</scope> 
         </dependency> 
   </dependencies> 
</dependencyManagement> 

In the preceding Maven POM configuration file, you can see that we are using the Finchley.BUILD-SNAPSHOT version of the Spring Cloud release train. This release train manages the dependencies for all associated modules as you can see in the <dependencyManagement> tag. We added a spring-cloud-config-server module for our cloud-config-app application. After setup dependencies management, let's implement Cloud Config Server.
