Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.5.6.RELEASE

Question

I am new to spring boot and try to solve this problem for a week. I downloaded plugin and still get the same error, and Tools/Options I have no proxy if needed

Edit I just created a basic project that user can sign up or log in. And I have controller, service repository, domain classes.But when I want to check if my database created I get this error.I checked my plugins if i misses some but everything seems rigth. Can you give me some guess about what can be problem?

Answer 1

Just add following code to your pom.xml

100% working

<build>
<plugins>
 <plugin>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
         <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <configuration>
            <skip>true</skip>
         </configuration>
         <executions>
            <execution>
               <phase>none</phase>
            </execution>
         </executions>
      </plugin>
   </plugins>
</build>

Answer 2

I'm facing the same problem, but in a different scenario. I have a Maven multi module project. My core module inherits from another one that makes use of spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.1.2.RELEASE plugin. When I tried to compile the core module the same error has occurred:

Failed to execute goal org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.1.2.RELEASE:repackage (repackage) on project it-core

I think the problem occurs because my core module does not have an @SpringBootApplication main class.

The following solution solved my problem.

<build>
   <plugins>
      <plugin>
         <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
         <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <configuration>
            <skip>true</skip>
         </configuration>
         <executions>
            <execution>
               <phase>none</phase>
            </execution>
         </executions>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
         <groupId>com.google.cloud.tools</groupId>
         <artifactId>jib-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <configuration>
            <skip>true</skip>
         </configuration>
      </plugin>
   </plugins>
</build>

Maybe you don't need the jib-maven-plugin

Answer 3

Try removing the following

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.6.RELEASE</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

And

<version>1.5.6.RELEASE</version>
        <configuration>
            <fork>true</fork>
        </configuration>

Answer 4

Autowire your UserService in the controller class and UserRepository in UserService calss.

In UserService class:

@service
public class UserService{

    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    ....
}

In the controller class:

@Controller
class UserController{

      @Autowired
      private UserRepository userRepository;

      .....
}

Answer 5

You might need a goal configurations for spring-boot-maven-plugin, like below

 <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>repackage</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
</executions>

Also, what's the maven command you are using to build and run?

Answer 6

Please define entityMangerFactory bean and inject it wherever it is required, I think you might be using JPA/Hibernate. Try this out
