Spring boot application is not creating fat (uber) jar

Question

I'm following the example here: https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-start

When I build the app, I'm not getting the fat jar with all the dependencies, but only a jar with the compiled classes of the project.

I paste the pom.xml below.

This made the job:
