Maven module using spring-boot

I like to configure my applications in maven by creating modules like;

<groupId>com.app</groupId>
<artifactId>example-app</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>pom</packaging>

<modules>
    <module>app-api</module>
    <module>app-impl</module>
    <module>app-web</module>
</modules>

The modules then use the 'example-app' as the parent.

Now I want use 'spring-boot' for my web application.

Is there a way to configure maven so that my 'app-web' is a spring-boot application?

The problem I'm facing is that you have to use spring-boot as a parent.
