Example for a self-executable Spring Boot JAR, which accesses a DB driver (or any other 3rd-party JAR) from a external (non-bundled) directory.

This may be useful if you are not allowed to bundle the DB driver with your application.

Tips:

  • Use ZIP as layout in spring-boot-maven-plugin (to generate the PropertiesLauncher entry in the MANIFEST.MF)
  • Set <executable>true</executable> to prepend a shell script to the resulting JAR
  • See command line examples for different types of running the JAR using the loader.path option

Expected result

Have a look for the output
