Issue
I added the Lombok library to my project:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
<version>1.18.16</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Even with provided scope, this library exists in the jar
. I tried this option:
<optional>true</optional>
But the result is the same - I have the Lombok library in my jar. I have other libraries that should be removed from the jar. I always thought that I should use provided scope for this purpose, but it doesn't work for me.

Solution
The Spring Boot Maven Plugin will still package Lombok, even if its scope is provided. However, you can easily exclude dependencies, see Spring Boot Maven Plugin Documentation: Dependency Exlusion
So try adding following configuration to the plugin:
<configuration>
<excludes>
<exclude>
<groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
<artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
