By default, the repackage goal will replace the original artifact with the repackaged one. That's a sane behavior for modules that represent an app but if your module is used as a dependency of another module, you need to provide a classifier for the repackaged one.
The reason for that is that application classes are packaged in BOOT-INF/classes so that the dependent module cannot load a repackaged jar's classes. If that is the case or if you prefer to keep the original artifact and attach the repackaged 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>2.1.12.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>repackage</id>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>If you are using `spring-boot-starter-parent`, the `repackage` goal is executed automatically in an execution with id `repackage`. In that setup, only the configuration should be specified as shown in the following example:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>repackage</id>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>This configuration will generate two artifacts: the original one and the repackaged counter part produced by the repackage goal. Both will be installed/deployed transparently.
You can also use the same configuration if you want to repackage a secondary artifact the same way the main artifact is replaced. The following configuration installs/deploys a single task classified artifact with the repackaged app:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>@maven-jar-plugin.version@</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<classifier>task</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.12.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>repackage</id>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>task</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>As both the maven-jar-plugin and the spring-boot-maven-plugin runs at the same phase, it is important that the jar plugin is defined first (so that it runs before the repackage goal).
Again, if you are using `spring-boot-starter-parent`, this can be simplified as follows:
<project>
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<configuration>
<classifier>task</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>repackage</id>
<configuration>
<classifier>task</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
...
</plugin>
...
</plugins>
...
</build>
...
</project>
