spring-boot:run

Full name:

org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:1.4.0.RC1:run

Description:

Run an executable archive application.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • Since version: 1.1.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: validate.
  • Invokes the execution of the lifecycle phase test-compile prior to executing itself.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
classesDirectory File 1.0 Directory containing the classes and resource files that should be packaged into the archive.
Default value is: ${project.build.outputDirectory}.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
addResources boolean 1.0 Add maven resources to the classpath directly, this allows live in-place editing of resources. Duplicate resources are removed from target/classes to prevent them to appear twice if ClassLoader.getResources() is called. Please consider adding spring-boot-devtools to your project instead as it provides this feature and many more.
Default value is: false.
User property is: run.addResources.
agent File[] 1.0 Path to agent jar. NOTE: the use of agents means that processes will be started by forking a new JVM.
User property is: run.agent.
arguments String[] 1.0 Arguments that should be passed to the application. On command line use commas to separate multiple arguments.
User property is: run.arguments.
excludeArtifactIds String 1.1 Comma separated list of artifact names to exclude (exact match).
User property is: excludeArtifactIds.
excludeGroupIds String 1.1 Comma separated list of groupId names to exclude (exact match).
User property is: excludeGroupIds.
excludes List 1.1 Collection of artifact definitions to exclude. The Exclude element defines a groupId and artifactId mandatory properties and an optional classifier property.
folders String[] 1.0 Additional folders besides the classes directory that should be added to the classpath.
fork Boolean 1.2 Flag to indicate if the run processes should be forked. By default process forking is only used if an agent or jvmArguments are specified.
User property is: fork.
includes List 1.2 Collection of artifact definitions to include. The Include element defines a groupId and artifactId mandatory properties and an optional classifier property.
jvmArguments String 1.1 JVM arguments that should be associated with the forked process used to run the application. On command line, make sure to wrap multiple values between quotes.
User property is: run.jvmArguments.
mainClass String 1.0 The name of the main class. If not specified the first compiled class found that contains a 'main' method will be used.
noverify Boolean 1.0 Flag to say that the agent requires -noverify.
User property is: run.noverify.
profiles String[] 1.3 The spring profiles to activate. Convenience shortcut of specifying the 'spring.profiles.active' argument. On command line use commas to separate multiple profiles.
User property is: run.profiles.
skip boolean 1.3.2 Skip the execution.
Default value is: false.
useTestClasspath Boolean 1.3 Flag to include the test classpath when running.
Default value is: false.
User property is: useTestClasspath.
