Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.2.5.RELEASE:run (default-cli)

Question

I am new to spring boot and am trying to run a application which runs with maven spring-boot:run. I downloaded a spring application from spring initializr and am trying to run that in IntelliJ IDE community edition 2019.3.3 but was getting the following error:

Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.2.5.RELEASE:run (default-cli) on project demo: Application finished with exit code: 1

My code is:

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }
}

My pom.xml file is:

            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

I later changed to NetBeans IDE and tried to run the application but got the same error. The full stack of errors are:

Answer 1

The above error is basically come due to plugin issue in maven for spring-boot

You can run the project in different way also if you want to run

First create a jar for the project by running

mvn clean install

Then run the jar from normal java command

java -jar jar-localtion.jar

if want to run with any specific profile then use this

java -Dspring.profiles.active= -jar jar-localtion.jar
