Maven Plugin (Spring Boot)

Introduction

The Spring Boot Maven Plugin provides Spring Boot support in Maven, allowing you to package executable jar or war archives and run an application “in-place”.

The Spring Boot Plugin has the following goals.

• spring-boot:run runs your Spring Boot application.

• spring-boot:repackage repackages your jar/war to be executable.

• spring-boot:start and spring-boot:stop to manage the lifecycle of your Spring Boot application (i.e. for integration tests).

• spring-boot:build-info generates build information that can be used by the Actuator.

Run app using the 'test' application.properties
