Spring Boot CLI - Packaging Application
Spring boot CLI provides jar command in order to package a application as jar file. Let's test the sample project created in Starter Thymeleaf Project Chapter to demonstrate the packaging capabilities of Spring CLI. Follow the below mentioned step to package the sample project.
Package the application
Type the following command
E:/Test/TestApplication/> spring jar TestApplication.jar *.groovy
Output
Now you can see two new files created in TestApplication folder.
TestApplication.jar − An executable jar file.
TestApplication.jar.original − Original jar file.
Include/Exclude
By default following directories are included along with their contents.
public
resources
static
templates
META-INF
By default following directories are excluded along with their contents.
repository
build
target
*.jar files
*.groovy files
Using --include, we can include directories excluded otherwise. Using --exclude, we can exclude directories included otherwise.
Running the Executable Jar
Type the following command
E:/Test/TestApplication/> java -jar TestApplication.jar
You can see the following output on console.
