mvn spring-boot:run doesn't start spring

Try it with spring-boot 1.0.2.RELEASE. The "run" mojo changed in 1.1.0 snapshots and you might have hit a Windows-specific problem with it (looks like maybe the app is running but you aren't seeing the console output).

Update: that bug is now fixed, so it should work on 1.1.0 as well.

Your pom is missing the Spring Boot Maven Plugin:

<build>    <plugins>        <plugin>            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>        </plugin>    </plugins></build>

I changed the version tag from 0.0.1-SNAPSHOT to 1.0.2.RELEASE and it worked:
