How to create executable jar file from springboot - maven application?

Question

When I tried to create a jar file using maven plugin in eclipse, I got thus error while trying to execute that jar:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to get nested archive for entry BOOT-INF/lib/spring-boot-starter-actuator-2.0.3.RELEASE.jar

This seems to be a bug in 2017. Is there any solution for this now?

Answer 1

Your executable jar file doesn't contain above jar file.You should build jar with dependencies.

• Right click project then click 'Run As'
• Maven Build
• And you should type 'package' in input area then run.
• /path/your/project/target/ there is your .jar file with dependencies.
