Spring-Boot: How can I build a runnable jar with SBT?

How can I build a runnable jar with SBT? Perhaps Spring-Boot isn't suitable for SBT built applications? Any suggestions on this?

I tried using sbt-assembly but it fails when I try to run it. Note that sbt run works

mainClass in assembly := Some("com.xagongroup.xagon.app.XagonETL")

assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly := {
  case PathList("META-INF", _ @ _*) => MergeStrategy.discard
  case _ => MergeStrategy.first
}

Solution

  • I solved the issue by moving to sbt-native-packager

    plugins.sbt

    addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.sbt" % "sbt-native-packager" % "1.2.0")

    build.sbt

    scriptClasspath := Seq("*")
mainClass in Compile := Some("com.x.app.XETL")
enablePlugins(JavaAppPackaging)

    Running:

    1. packaging sbt universal:stage
    2. starting the app: target\universal\stage\bin\x.bat
