Create a Spring Boot 1.5.8 Quartz scheduler app

Question

I want to create a Spring Boot Quartz scheduler app. using Spring Boot 1.5.8 with Spring Tool Suite Version: 3.9.0.RELEASE using the option Spring Starter Project, but the Quartz scheduler option is disabled:

I also tried to added manually adding to the pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-quartz</artifactId>
 </dependency>

and then I got the error:

Project build error: 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-quartz:jar is 
 missing.

Answer 1

You have to create your spring-boot starter app with version >= 2.0.0.M2 . At start.spring.io you can see for which version some dependencies are available.

After using the correct version, everything should work.
