Issue
I'm looking all afternoon how I can run a JAR of a Spring Boot application I'm developing.
Generated the JAR through the mvn clean package command. The JAR is generated inside the target folder, so I run the CMD in this folder and type java -jar apptest.jar and then I get
Error: Could not find or load main class br.com.myapp.Application
When I run the application directly on the eclipse, it runs perfectly.
Can you help me ?

Solution
To use the Spring Boot Maven Plugin, include the appropriate XML in the plugins section of your pom.xml, as shown in the following example:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<artifactId>getting-started</artifactId>
<!-- ... -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Build:
mvn clean package
Run:
java -jar target/brxmind.jar
Output:
...
2021-07-29 07:53:43.557 INFO 18739 --- [ main] o.s.b.w.embedded.tomcat.TomcatWebServer : Tomcat started on port(s): 8080 (http) with context path ''
