I've found samples that stores static files in /src/main/webapp/ and /src/main/resources/static/. What's the difference and what's the best place to store static files in spring-boot app?

Using Spring BootSpring Boot comes with a pre-configured implementation of ResourceHttpRequestHandler to facilitate serving static resources. By default, this handler serves static content from any of the /static, /public, /resources, and /META-INF/resources directories that are on the classpath.
bootJar on the other hand is a specific task added by Spring Boot Gradle plugin that, when the java plugin is present, attaches itself to the assemble lifecycle task. The assemble task is automatically configured to depend upon the bootJar task so running assemble (or build ) will also run the bootJar task.
If your resources are in src/main/webapp that suggests you are building a WAR archive. And for a JAR src/main/resources is more appropriate (eg in /static if it's a boot app). It's up to you though if you want to put stuff in non standard places - you just have to configure the build system to understand what you mean.
