Maven adding layers.idx and other spring classes automatically to the war file

I am building a war using maven (mvn clean install), the build is successful but the problem is few spring-boot related jars are getting missed in the war file(I checked using jar tf command) and instead of that many other springboot related classes and layer.idx file is getting added. How to remove these so that they are not included in the war and all other spring related dependencies are added properly. I tried deleting the local maven repo but it didn't worked.
Here is my pom.xml -

spring-boot-starter-validation-2.5.2.jar
Please help.

First you don't need to execute install because you don't need the artifact in your local repository. You should execute package.
Second you have some plugins that are not needed. (Why did you change the pom.xml that Spring Boot Initializer generated?)
Remove
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<release>11</release>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
Then you have dependencies that will come from the starters anyway
You can remove everything that has the comment
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/javax.persistence/<xy> -->
It looks like you want to use JPA so add the spring-boot-starter-data-jpa dependency.

intellij tomcat "copying resources" takes too much time

I'm building a basic web app using JSF and spring using IntelliJ IDEA. So I followed this post to config the IDEA with tomcat. But when I run the app, it takes too much time to build saying coping resources.(like 1/2 an hour) And when I make a change it takes much longer time. Strangest thing is, after the build, there are ~2GB files inside the target folder. And the same classes folders are recursively copied in to it. which means target\classes\classes\artifacts\java_test_war_exploded\WEB-INF\classes\target\classes\target\classes\target\m2e-wtp\web-resources\META-INF\maven\java_test\...etc. This goes to like infinity!
What is the problem here? Please someone help!
(sorry for my English)

I still couldn’t find a solution for this. So I just deleted the .idea directory from the project and reimported the project to IntelliJ. Then it worked!

I have faced this problem. At first check your project folder's size. If it is too large and it is not normal (my target folder was more than ~ 2 GB) , we have a same problem!
My mistake which caused this problem was that in intellij idea, I had refactored so many packages and changed folder's directions so many at the beginning of my project. My IDE confused and made a lot of same folders in each folder and continued it many many times! Like taking selfie in front of a mirror! what will happen to your pic? it will repeat infinitely.
my solution: create my project again as same as the previous one. but by taking care and not refactoring!
Just this!

Please provide steps to how to install surefire plugin in Maven. I have googled and found no specific answer. There were lots of answer about the solution but no specific answer on how to install the plugin with steps.
Excpetion I am getting:

Referring to the attached pom.xml file, it is evident that inclusion of the surefire plugin is missing. Maven needs to know what plugin to include and which version. The following is suggested:
Add the Maven Surefire plugin entry in the pom.xml file
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>for example: 2.22.0</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
Then run mvn test
The usage example above has been extracted from here
Going a bit further, you can also include/exclude tests using the configuration schema
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>for example: 2.22.0</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>IncludeTest.java</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>ExcludeTest.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement></build>
A detailed instruction with examples is shown here.
Incase you would like surefire to hook to your testng.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven-surefire-plugin}</version>
<configuration>
<suiteXmlFiles>
<suiteXmlFile>testng.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Upon success, the surefire plugin will generate a XML report at target/reports inside your project folder.

After so many researchers i have found the solution for my problem. in first place i thought there is a problem in my pom.xml file. but after make sure my pom.xml is correct i figure out system does not displays/recognized the maven in my machine. (mvn test) .
As the solution i followed below steps and now the system doesn't give me the exception i mentioned above in my question .
open cmd and type mvn test (in my case system didnt recognized the mvn)
Navigate to path > edit the system variables> Environment variables >select system variable- path
enter image description here
3.click on edit button and add the machine path which maven is available in to the end of the available path .
enter image description here
4.click ok
5.open cmd
6.type cmd test <>
7.now you can run your Maven project without the exception i have mentioned in my question :)

Spring-mvc setup issue

I am trying to do the basic Maven-Spring MVC setup in STS, but somehow I am not able to remove the red underline mark. I have attached a screenshot and also POM.xml file as reference. I don't think I have missed anything because I have included spring-wewbmvc, spring-context and log4j as dependency and that should work.
First I created dynamic web project into STS and then converted into Maven Project.
Please find below screenshot of my directory and AppInitializer class.I just want to get compile and produce out output HelloWorld in the console. That's it!

Oh okay, sorry I got it..
added 2 more dependency into POM.xml

and it worked.. surprisingly, I don't knw why .. I thought in spring-context and spring-webmvc would be good enough and it should cover servlet dependency too

Please note that the Postman Client works fine. What is the Maven command to run the SpringRestClient Class? The SpringSecurityOAuth2Example.war is generated from mvn package.
Thanks

Consider your pom.xml is inside SpringSecurityOAuth2Example folder so from that folder you can run below command. Please make sure your war file is deployed in tomcat and server is running as SpringRestClient will look for service at http://localhost:8080/SpringSecurityOAuth2Example. Please restart you tomcat before running this command otherwise it might throw error.
