Execution default of goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.4.0.RELEASE:repackage failed: Unable to rename

Question

I am trying to build a JAR file out of a spring project. When I try to do a maven install, it throws me the following error

Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.4.0.RELEASE:repackage (default) on project ABC: Execution default of goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.4.0.RELEASE:repackage failed: Unable to rename 'ABC-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar' to 'ABC-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar.original' ->

The 'pom' file is as shown below

I tried to look in SO and other forums for a possible solution. But none of them worked. Any pointers as to where the problem might be ?

Answer 1

TL;DR: check for special characters in the Jar name

In my case, the problem was related to these lines in the pom.xml:

<version>1.0.0-${maven.build.timestamp}</version>
<maven.build.timestamp.format>yyyy-MM-dd-HH:mm</maven.build.timestamp.format>

Interestingly, this is OS specific - I got the same error as the asker when doing a mvn clean install. It worked on Linux.

Answer 2

While the problem did not completely disappear, what solved the problem for now is by using the answer from SO

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <classifier>boot</classifier>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

It now creates an additional *.jar file (ABC-boot.jar).
