I'm trying to create .bat script that will start my Java application. Application uses a lot of the dependencies so I have to create a fat jar:
I did that by adding this dependency to my pom.xml:
pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>my.path.MicroserviceApp</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
After that I executed maven clean install which created two jar files in my target folder. One 'normal' jar and one fat jar. I used path to that fat jar and I tried to run it via my script but I got error.
Bat Script:
echo off
set "JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_291"
set "PATH=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_291/bin;%PATH%"
set "MICRO_HTTP=C:/Users/just.quest/workspace/application_parent/MicroserviceApp"
set "CLASSPATH=%MICRO_HTTP%/target/MicroserviceApp-20.14.1-1-jar-with-dependencies.jar"
java -jar %CLASSPATH%
pause
And error that I'm getting:
Error Log from command prompt:

So as you can see, it seems there is some problem with the "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories."
I've tried to google this but I couldn't find anything useful and I've already spent too much time on this so I'm out of options. I hope someone knows how can I start application from my command prompt.
When I start application from Eclipse, everything works fine. This error is present only when I use my .bat script.
Thanks M. Deinum, that fixed my problem:
I had to replace maven-assembly-plugin with the:
<build>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</build>
