You can also get maven to report the dependencies required by the various spring-boot-starter-* defined in spring boot project pom.xml file, by using the following command
mvn dependency:resolve
For example with spring 1.5.8.RELEASE, the following jars (and versions) are used
Note format is Group Id:Artifact Id:Version:Scope
The following files have been resolved:

Just ignore the jars that have a test scope for deployment.
If you do not have spring boot project handy, just create one at Spring Initializr, with whatever spring boot starters you need. It also uses maven wrapper, which wraps the maven command, saving you time setting up and installing maven separately.
So just download the zip file from Spring Initializr, unzip and open a command prompt in the unzipped folder, and use the following command instead
For Linux/Mac OS
./mvnw dependency:resolve
For windows
./mvnw.cmd dependency:resolve
spring-boot-starter-xxx
artifacts, just not bound to a specific Spring Boot version so it does not become obsolete: docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/… – Honza Zidek
