Maven generating actual jar as .jar.original instead of .jar file

Question

Basically I have a Maven Project and I am trying to generate a jar of my project using mvn clean compile package through spring tool suite using below pom.xml.

After the command is executed, I get 2 jar files generated in my target folder - {project-name}.jar & {project-name}.jar.original

The .jar file contains Spring boot framework class files having this contents while the .jar.original file contains actual class files of my application.

Snapshot of target folder

I also tried using mvn clean install but no luck with it. Moreover, the only 1 file is installed which is useless for me, because it does not contain any class files of my application but contains spring framework classes.

pom.xml

Answer 1

spring-boot-maven plugin by default uses the repackage goal which packages all dependencies mentioned in the pom file. When this happens, your project's classes and resources jar is renamed to "original".

Please refer the below documentation for more details about this plugin.
