spring-boot:start

Full name:

org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin:2.2.14.BUILD-SNAPSHOT:start

Description:

Start a spring application. Contrary to the run goal, this does not block and allows other goal to operate on the application. This goal is typically used in integration test scenario where the application is started before a test suite and stopped after.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • Requires dependency resolution of artifacts in scope: test.
  • Since version: 1.3.0.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: pre-integration-test.

Required Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<classesDirectory> File 1.0.0 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 1.0.0 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.
