What dependency to register to update spring boot to 2.0.2 for spring-boot-starter-velocity?

Question

Java

I upgrade Spring boot from version 1.4.0 to 2.0.2. On startup the following errors:

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] 'dependencies.dependency.version' for org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-velocity:jar is missing. @ line 25, column 15 @

Do I understand correctly that this extension is not suitable for Spring boot 2.0.2?
How can the problem be solved?

Deprecations from Spring Boot 1.4
Classes, methods and properties that were deprecated in Spring Boot 1.4 have been removed in this release. Please ensure that you aren't calling deprecated methods before upgrading. In particular, the HornetQ and Velocity support have been removed.

I suspect that simply specifying the version for spring-boot-starter-velocity will not end the matter.
