Big war file with Spring starter multi module project
Question
I have a big project, consist of several small modules:
- core.jar: contains the entities & data jpa repositories, use spring-boot-starter-data-jpa
- api.jar: contains all the rest controller, depends on core.jar and use spring-boot-starter-web
- web.war: the entry point, contains the configuration and convert from executable jar to war by follow the guide: http://spring.io/guides/gs/convert-jar-to-war/
Everything works well, the only issue is the war file very big, about > 300MB at current code base (which is very small, just some controller, few entities). I do some investigation and found out that the core.jar & api.jar contains the dependencies, the web.war also again contains those dependencies includes his own dependencies.
Do we have anyway to build the jar, war without dependencies and let them download the dependencies on first boot on the production machine? or the dependencies package separately, so in the incremental deployment, we do not need to re-upload the whole thing?
Regards,
Update 1:
Q: Do I need core.jar & api.jar to be executable.
A: No, I don't need it, but I also don't want to list down all the difference dependencies which is I can have by include spring-boot-starter-data-jpa or spring-boot-starter-web

If you build project with Maven you can use dependency scopes http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html#Dependency_Scope
<dependency>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-b</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<type>war</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
and exclusions
<dependency>
<groupId>group-a</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact-a</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>group-c</groupId>
<artifactId>excluded-artifact</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
Thus the war project could exclude dependencies and jar projects could use compile time dependecies.

If you don't need the core and api JARs to be executable just remove the spring-boot-maven-plugin from those poms. In an auto-generated pom.xml from the STS IDE you can just remove the whole <build/> section, ie
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
