Could not find or load main class, when running spring boot Application

I'm having issues when I run my application as a java application. I've tried various solutions but with no success. I still get the following message:

Could not find or load main class com.alliacom.audit.AuditApplication

This is the pom.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

and this is my main application, AuditApplication.java

package com.alliacom.audit;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.support.SpringBootServletInitializer;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.config.EnableJpaAuditing;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableJpaAuditing
public class AuditApplication extends SpringBootServletInitializer {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        SpringApplication.run(AuditApplication.class, args);
    }
}

The project seems fine, there are no errors during build, but I don't see the cause of the problem.

You need to use the plugin like this

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.1.RELEASE</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

The fastest solution, since your pom is very small:

  • Got to Spring Initializer: https://start.spring.io/

  • Generate a new Maven / Java / SpringBoot 2.0 project.

  • run it and check your system is fine

  • start adding your customizations one at a time, and try after each modification.

In few minutes you'll have found the culprit.

Try removing the following from your pom file (it is not needed):

<configuration>
    <mainClass>com.alliacom.audit.AuditApplication</mainClass>
</configuration>
