SpringBoot - making jar files - No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories
Everything was working fine when starting my app using IntelliJ. But when I made a fat jar and executed it with
java -jar myapp.jar
I got this:
16:37:44.194 [main] ERROR org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication - Application startup failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [pl.mypackage.Main]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories. If you are using a custom packaging, make sure that file is correct.

It looks like it doesn't found auto configuration classes in META-INF/spring.factories. How to add it, and what should be the content of this file?
I had the same problem and just solved it.
At first, I was generating the fat jar with the maven-assembly-plugin, which created a file called mavenproject1-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar. This file gave the same problem as you mentioned when I tried running it.
I think that because it's a Spring Boot application, you need to use their plug-in. I changed my packaging to the spring-boot-maven-plugin and it generates two files: mavenproject1-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar and mavenproject1-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.original. Just try java -jar target/mavenproject1-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar, and it will hopefully work. :-)
For reference, here is my pom.xml:

This is the solution :
-
add only plugin in POM.xml
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <fork>true</fork> <mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>repackage</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> -
One property in pom.xml
<properties> <start-class>com.xxx.yyy.MainClass</start-class> </properties> -
Run command
mvn clean package spring-boot:repackage -
Now run your jar (it includes all dependencies now) created inside target folder
java -jar my-service-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
