So I have a spring boot application and I am creating a fat jar with the maven-shade-plugin like below
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.5.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>id1</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<transformers>
<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
<manifestEntries>
<Multi-Release>true</Multi-Release>
</manifestEntries>
</transformer>
</transformers>
<filters>
<filter>
<artifact>*:*</artifact>
<excludes>
<exclude>META-INF/*.SF</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/*.DSA</exclude>
<exclude>META-INF/*.RSA</exclude>
</excludes>
</filter>
</filters>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The thing is that I want the resulting jar to contain the classes under BOOT-INF both in the BOOT-INF directory and also be at the root of the jar.
Is there a way to do that? Any help would be appreciated!
