Package org.springframework.boot.loader

package org.springframework.boot.loader

System that allows self-contained JAR/WAR archives to be launched using java -jar. Archives can include nested packaged dependency JARs (there is no need to create shade style jars) and are executed without unpacking. The only constraint is that nested JARs must be stored in the archive uncompressed.
