I'm using the Spring Boot Maven Plugin in my pom.xml and more precisely the repackage goal to create an executable jar: https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/1.4.1.RELEASE/maven-plugin/examples/repackage-classifier.html
This moves all application classes under BOOT-INF/classes in the JAR file.
In my case I have a file under my src/main/resources path, let's say it's src/main/resources/my-file.txt.
In a normal JAR file the above my-file.txt would be placed at root level in the JAR.
When I repackage the JAR however, the file goes to BOOT-INF/classes/my-file.txt. This is a problem for me as I really need this file on root level in the JAR.
Is there a way to achieve what I'm looking for with maven somehow as I don't want to have to manually insert the file on root level into the JAR with a command afterwards?
Thanks!
