Answer 1

Linux

If you add the configuration executable=true to the maven plugin.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <executable>true</executable>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

This will add an extra script at the front of the file and make it executable on Linux.

Windows

Windows is not that straight forward. You could use Launch4J http://launch4j.sourceforge.net/

Here is a guide how to configure the Launch4J Maven plugin:
