Can't deploy Spring Boot war to Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I'm trying to deploy a Spring Boot application (that works locally) to EB and it seems to barf on something in the pom file, but I can't narrow it down. Running Tomcat8, Java 8. I was able to get a more basic version with the dependencies stripped out deployed, but this just won't budge.

Including my eb-activity.log and pom.xml

The specific error in eb-activity I'm getting is:

6813 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
    (attempting to process anyway)

Part of my eb-activity.log looks like:

What could this be?

Answer 1

springBoot {
    mainClass = ''
    executable = false
    buildInfo()
}

executable needs to be set to false in build.gradle for this to work in beanstalk

Answer 2

For maven I had to add

<configuration>
   <mainClass>${mainClass}</mainClass>
   <addResources>true</addResources>
    **<executable>false</executable>**
</configuration>

in pom
