By default, the repackage goal will replace the original artifact with the executable one. If you prefer to keep the original artifact and attach the executable one with a different classifier, configure the plugin as follows:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.6.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>This configuration will generate two artifacts: the original one and the executable counter part produced by the repackage goal. Both will be installed/deployed accordingly.
