Website quickstart maven example doesn't work

It needs the snapshots and milestone repos to work.

<repository>
        <id>spring-snapshots</id>
        <name>Spring Snapshots</name>
        <url>http://repo.spring.io/snapshot</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
        </snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
        <id>spring-milestones</id>
        <name>Spring Milestones</name>
        <url>http://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>

Some formatting problems in your issue description?

Unless I'm missing something I actually think you are wrong (because for me in a Chrome browser the snapshot repo is selected by the snapshot sample, and the milestone similarly), but maybe you didn't have JavaScript in your browser or some other such edge case that I haven't seen. What is your browser and is JavaScript enabled?

However, this highlights a different problem - the sample is incomplete without the plugin and plugin repositories.

Yes but snapshots have dependencies in The milestone repo

Good point, thanks. We can fix that.

Fixed. The fix isn't ideal (the starter parent has to have the repository declared because the website structure doesn't allow the repository configuration to be customized). But it won't matter once we get rid of all milestone dependencies.
