Spring Boot JAR file not working with ClassNotFoundException

I have a Spring Boot Application that is working.
I did
mvn clean package
and the .jar file is my target folder.
Then I try to execute the following command:
java -jar .\target\my-application-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
and I get the following Error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: C:\Users\test\example-application\example-app/src/main/test/ExampleApplication

Researching on stackoverflow just recommend an issue that I already included ...
It was recommended to include this plugin in order to include the maven jars into the project .... spring-boot-maven-plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
What else could be the reason for it not working?

The class name in the exception is a file name and not a class name. That makes me suspect that you have specified the main class incorrectly. Have you specified the name of the class in the spring-boot-maven-plugin with
<configuration>
<mainClass>foo.bar.ExampleApplication</mainClass>
</configuration>
or as a Main-Class in the manifest? Note that you should use dot notation for packages...

I had a similar issue to this a few weeks ago. Spring looks for the source for most classes to be in the /src/main folder.
It looks like you're missing the file from that folder. In my case, I had placed it in just /src instead of /src/main

Invocation of MavenCli fails within a Maven plugin

I've created small util to wrap MavenCli, which generates a new Maven project, using the quickstart archetype.
When executing the Util as a unit test, it is working quite well (just generating an empty Maven project).
Now I want to integrate this small wrapper into a Maven plugin. But when I execute the mojo (within a third Maven project), the invocation of MavenCli fails with exception:
[ERROR] Error executing Maven.
[ERROR] java.util.NoSuchElementException
role: org.apache.maven.eventspy.internal.EventSpyDispatcher
roleHint:
[ERROR] Caused by: null
The util looks like:
public void createProject() {
final MavenCli cli = new MavenCli();
System.setProperty("maven.multiModuleProjectDirectory", "/usr/share/maven");
cli.doMain(new String[] { "archetype:generate", "-DgroupId=com.my.company",
"-DartifactId=hello-world", "-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart",
"-DinteractiveMode=false" }, "/tmp", System.out, System.out);
}
relevant dependency of the util:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-embedder</artifactId>
<version>3.3.9</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-core</artifactId>
<version>3.3.9</version>
</dependency>
The mojo code looks like:
#Mojo(name = "custommojo", requiresProject = false)
public class CustomMojo extends AbstractMojo {
#Override
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException {
Util.createProject();
}
}
The POM of the mojo just includes dependencies to relevant Maven artifacts (plugin-api, plugin-annotation, etc.) and the util.
The third project I mentioned, is an empty "maven-quickstart" project which have dependency to the mojo-project and a configuration for the mojo to execute in compile phase.
I have no idea why it works in context of unit test, but not in context of a mojo.
Can anybody help?

This is a class loading issue.
MavenCli will try to load classes from the context classloader of the current thread. Inside of a Maven plugin, there is a special, restricted, classloader, which has access to:
its own classes;
the classes used in its dependencies block;
exported classes as part of a possible build extension of the project;
exported classes from the Maven core and core extensions;
and has the bootstrap classloader as parent.
However, the specific class org.apache.maven.eventspy.internal.EventSpyDispatcher is part of Maven core, but it is not part of the exported APIs (the package org.apache.maven.eventspy is not listed as an exportedPackage). So the plugin cannot load that class. This is also why it works in your tests: you're not inside of a plugin, so the classloader is different and has access to that class.
You won't even be able to get away with adding explictly a dependency on maven-core for the plugin: it will be disgarded since it is supposedly already provided.
There are 2 solutions here:
Don't use the Maven Embedder API from within a plugin, but the Invoker API. The difference between the two is that the Invoker API will launch Maven in a clean environment, completely distinct with regard to the current one. Since it starts everything anew, you won't have any classloading issue.
Use the mojo-executor library, that provides an easy way to invoke other Mojos from within a Maven plugin. You could use it here to invoke the archetype:generate Mojo.

This works for me inside a custom maven plugin (using Maven 3.5.0):
ClassRealm classRealm = (ClassRealm) Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
MavenCli cli = new MavenCli(classRealm.getWorld());
cli.doMain( ... );
The plexus Launcher sets the context class loader to its ClassRealm, which has access to the "global" ClassWorld.
Not sure how stable that solution is, but so far looking good.
Used imports:
import org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.ClassWorld;
import org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm;
import org.apache.maven.cli.MavenCli;

#Alexander:
You answer put me in the right direction, I was getting the mentioned error when trying to run to doMain maven commands subsequently (one command would succeed).
However your code gives me a ClassCast exception :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader cannot be cast to org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.realm.ClassRealm
at com.misys.tools.integration.codegen.cli.cmd.InstallApi.mavenInstallMchApi(InstallApi.java:58)
at com.misys.tools.integration.codegen.cli.cmd.InstallApi.run(InstallApi.java:50)
at com.misys.tools.integration.codegen.cli.OpenApiGen.main(OpenApiGen.java:26)
I managed to rewrite the code to:
MavenCli cli = new MavenCli(new ClassWorld("maven",Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()));
And then 2 subsequent doMain invocations of embedded maven succeed!

Maven dependency javax.servlet must be included in POM for new build server

I have a new nexus server, and a new build server. I mvn package a project and get the following error when it gets to the testing phase:

NOT FOUND
I created a barebone archetype pom as I was troubleshooting this. This included javax.servlet, so I figured that might be it, and it did seem to solve the problem.
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>${servlet-api-release-version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Open ended question - why might this be?

When you are compiling classes which are importing something from javax.servlet package, you need to have that dependency on your class path.
For example when you have public class FooServlet extends HttpServlet, then the Java compiler needs to be able to get javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet to check whether the parent is not final, whether you are implementing all abstract methods, etc.
javax.servlet dependency then needs to be marked as provided in pom.xml. This is because all servlet containers already include that dependency. If you fail to exclude this library from you WAR, the HttpServlet class in your web application will be different from HttpServlet class used by the servlet container (i.e. FooServlet instanceof HttpServlet would be false as classes in Java are not only defined by their qualified name, but also by their class loader).

I decomplied XMLConfigurator and oddly it doesn't import org.apache.log4j.Logger It uses org.slf4j.Logger which is also in my jars directory (slf4j-api-1.7.5.jar). Also interesting is that line 60 (see stack trace) is a blank line in my decompile.
Of course if I add Logger.xxxxx during design time, it finds it just fine.
I'm using the code/jars directly from the sample java code, but imported into my existing application.
I've been scouring the web for answers and I believe I've checked all the areas I can think of. I also referenced this very good page: http://myarch.com/classnotfound/
Given authorization is step 1 in using the Intuit Developer API, I'm kinda stuck.

I'm still working on interpreting the results.

During runtime your application is unable to find the jar.
Taken from this answer by Jared:
It is important to keep two different exceptions straight in our head
in this case:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException This an Exception, it indicates that the
class was not found on the classpath. This indicates that we were
trying to load the class definition, and the class did not exist on
the classpath.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError This is Error, it indicates that the JVM
looked in its internal class definition data structure for the
definition of a class and did not find it. This is different than
saying that it could not be loaded from the classpath. Usually this
indicates that we previously attempted to load a class from the
classpath, but it failed for some reason - now we're trying again,
but we're not even going to try to load it, because we failed
loading it earlier. The earlier failure could be a
ClassNotFoundException or an ExceptionInInitializerError (indicating
a failure in the static initialization block) or any number of other
problems. The point is, a NoClassDefFoundError is not necessarily a
classpath problem.
for similarities and differences

You can use the following maven dependency in your pom file. Otherwise, you can download the following two jars from net and add it to your build path.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
<version>1.6.4</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
<version>1.6.4</version>
</dependency>
This is copied from my working project. First make sure it is working in your project. Then you can change the versions to use any other(versions) compatible jars.
For AggCat, you can refer the POM file of the sample java application.

Check in Deployment Assembly,
I have the same error, when i generate the war file with the "maven clean install" way and deploy manualy, it works fine, but when i use the runtime enviroment (eclipse) the problems come.
The solution for me (for eclipse IDE) go to: "proyect properties" --> "Deployment Assembly" --> "Add" --> "the jar you need", in my case java "build path entries".
Maybe can help a litle!

With the suggestions #jhadesdev and the explanations from others, I've found the issue here.
After adding the code to see what was visible to the various class loaders I found this:
All versions of log4j Logger:
zip:<snip>war/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.17.jar!/org/apache/log4j/Logger.class
All versions of log4j visible from the classloader of the OAuthAuthorizer class:

zip:<snip>war/WEB-INF/lib/xmltooling-1.3.1.jar!/org/opensaml/xml/XMLConfigurator.class
All versions of XMLConfigurator visible from the classloader of the OAuthAuthorizer class:

zip:<snip>war/WEB-INF/lib/ipp-java-aggcat-v1-devkit-1.0.2.jar!/org/opensaml/xml/XMLConfigurator.class
zip:<snip>war/WEB-INF/lib/xmltooling-1.3.1.jar!/org/opensaml/xml/XMLConfigurator.class
I noticed that another version of XMLConfigurator was possibly getting picked up.
I decompiled that class and found this at line 60 (where the error was in the original stack trace) private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(XMLConfigurator.class); and that class was importing from org.apache.log4j.Logger!
So it was this class that was being loaded and used. My fix was to rename the jar file that contained this file as I can't find where I explicitly or indirectly load it. Which may pose a problem when I actually deploy.
Thanks for all help and the much needed lesson on class loading.

Based on the stacktrace, an intuit class com.intuit.ipp.aggcat.util.SAML2AssertionGenerator needs a saml jar on the classpath.
A saml class org.opensaml.xml.XMLConfigurator needs on it's turn log4j, which is inside the WAR but cannot find it.
One explanation for this is that the class XMLConfigurator that needs log4j was found not inside the WAR but on a downstream classloader. could a saml jar be missing from the WAR?
The class XMLConfigurator that needs log4j cannot find it at the level of the classloader that loaded it, and the log4j version on the WAR is not visible on that particular classloader.
In order to troubleshoot this, a way is to add this before the oauth call:
System.out.println("all versions of log4j Logger: " + getClass().getClassLoader().getResources("org/apache/log4j/Logger.class") );
System.out.println("all versions of XMLConfigurator: " + getClass().getClassLoader().getResources("org/opensaml/xml/XMLConfigurator.class") );
System.out.println("all versions of XMLConfigurator visible from the classloader of the OAuthAuthorizer class: " + OAuthAuthorizer.class.getClassLoader().getResources("org/opensaml/xml/XMLConfigurator.class") );
System.out.println("all versions of log4j visible from the classloader of the OAuthAuthorizer class: " + OAuthAuthorizer.class.getClassloader().getResources("org/apache/log4j/Logger.class") );
Also if you are using Java 7, have a look at jHades, it's a tool I made to help troubleshooting these type of problems.
In order to see what is going on, could you post the results of the classpath queries above, for which container is this happening, tomcat, jetty? It would be better to put the full stacktrace with all the caused by's in pastebin, just in case.

Had the same problem, it was indeed caused by weblogic stupidly using its own opensaml implementation. To solve it, you have to tell it to load classes from WEB-INF/lib for this package in weblogic.xml:
<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>org.opensaml.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>
maybe <prefer-web-inf-classes>true</prefer-web-inf-classes> would work too.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException is indicate that class is not found in class path.
it could be the version of log4j is not compatible.
check for different log4j version.

I had the same issue, for me this fixed the issue:
right click on the project ->maven -> update project

Add compile 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-1.2-api:2.17.1' and then it will automatically work

In my case, the error was due to some dependencies using log4j v 1.x that I removed from the classpath. So I introduced the log4j-1.2-api to bridge v 1.x to 2.x as recommended in the Apache Migration guide:
After introducing this dependency in my build.gradle, the error disappeared :
implementation 'org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-1.2-api:2.17.+!!'

Following works for me everytime I face the problem
rightclick on project(say abc-war)-> properties -> Deployment assembly->add->java build path entries->Maven dependencies.

Netbeans platform projects - problems with wrapped jar files that have dependencies

For starters, this question is not so much about programming in the NetBeans IDE as developing a NetBeans project (e.g. using the NetBeans Platform framework).
I am attempting to use the BeanUtils library to introspect my domain models and provide the properties to display in a property sheet. Sample code:
public class MyNode extends AbstractNode implements PropertyChangeListener {
private static final PropertyUtilsBean bean = new PropertyUtilsBean();
// snip
protected Sheet createSheet() {
Sheet sheet = Sheet.createDefault();
Sheet.Set set = Sheet.createPropertiesSet();
APIObject obj = getLookup().lookup (APIObject.class);
PropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = bean.getPropertyDescriptors(obj);
for (PropertyDescriptor d : descriptors) {
Method readMethod = d.getReadMethod();
Method writeMethod = d.getWriteMethod();
Class valueType = d.getClass();
Property p = new PropertySupport.Reflection(obj, valueType, readMethod, writeMethod);
set.put(p);
}
sheet.put(set);
return sheet;
}
I have created a wrapper module around commons-beanutils-1.8.3.jar, and added a dependency on the module in my module containing the above code. Everything compiles fine. When I attempt to run the program and open the property sheet view (i.e.. the above code actually gets run), I get the following error:

I understand that beanutils is using the commons-logging component. I have tried adding the commons-logging component in two different ways (creating a wrapper library around the commons-logging library, and putting a dependency on the Commons Logging Integration library).
Neither solves the problem.
I noticed that the same problem occurs with other wrapped libraries; if they themselves have external dependencies, the ClassNotFoundExceptions propagate like mad, even if I've wrapped the jars of the libraries they require and added them as dependencies to the original wrapped library module.
Pictorially:
alt text http://files.droplr.com/files/18876491/IwG2.NetBeans%20Project%20problem.png
I'm at my wits end here. I noticed similar problems while googling:
Is there a known bug on NB Module dependency
Same issue I'm facing but when wrapping a different jar
NetBeans stance on this - none of the 3 apply to me.
None conclusively help me.
Thank you,
Nick
EDIT: I managed to get the example with beanutils to compile by adding dependencies to commons-logging and commons-collections to the beanutils library wrapper. But my problem remains in other instances.

I rebuilt the jars, rewrapped them, and that fixed the ClassPathNotFound exceptions.

This error basically hints that the Commons Logging needs to be in the same classpath as Commons Beanutils. I am not sure what you mean with creating a wrapper module and why you would like to do it, but normally you just drop the libraries (the JAR files) in a project folder which is covered by the project's buildpath (aka classpath), or to manually add the JAR files to the project's buildpath.
