Running this way makes your static classpath resources (i.e. in

which can be helpful at development time.

The plugin rewrites your manifest, and in particular it manages the
`Main-Class` and `Start-Class` entries, so if the defaults don't work
you have to configure those there (not in the jar plugin). The
`Main-Class` in the manifest is actually controlled by the `layout`
property of the boot plugin, e.g.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>{{project.version}}</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
<layout>ZIP</layout>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The layout property defaults to a guess based on the archive type (JAR
or WAR). For the `PropertiesLauncher` the layout is "ZIP" (even though
the output might be a JAR file).
