Unexpected settings in effective pom when inheriting from spring-boot-starter-parent #18532
Description
The two documented ways to start a Maven project are either inherit from spring-boot-starter-parent or import spring-boot-dependencies. The main differences are of course, that spring-boot-starter-parent provides the version properties and more configured plugins.
However, when inheriting from spring-boot-starter-parent there are more settings made. See this snippet from an effective pom:

</scm>I wouldn't expect these settings in a new project. These are not correct in most cases. This should either be documented or removed.
Steps to reproduce:
- create new Maven project which inherits from
spring-boot-starter-parent(like this) - run
mvn help:effective-pom
