It turns out that loader.path=. was pathological and before this change ended up making the classpath empty (loader.path=.,lib/ would have fixed it). With this change the old behaviour is still supported, but if the only user-supplied path entry is "." (or empty) then it is now kept, and translates into the root of the current archive if running as "java -jar ...". Fixes gh-270
Spring Boot - Tools
Spring Boot Tools provides a logical grouping for our various build system plugins, and the modules that support them. We provide a spring-boot-maven-plugin and spring-boot-gradle-plugin for Maven and Gradle respectively.
If you are interested in how we support executable archives, take a look at the spring-boot-loader module. If you need to create executable archives from a different build system, spring-boot-loader-tools may help.
