Spring boot external properties not working for boot 2.0.0.RELEASE with spring batch inside

I'm working on spring boot app that contains only one batch job, here is my pom.xml for the batch project (note that this is part of the multi module project)

After building the project i'm trying to run it with
java -jar my_app.jar --spring.config.location=file:./prop.properties --spring.config.name=prop
Which is not working my job is failing to pickup the properties defined that (code inside #Value not resolved)
Insinde of configuration class in the code i have static PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer (maybe that it somehow relevant, but I doubt it..)
I am using windows 10, tried to execute from different shells (cmd and git bash)
What I'm missing here?

It turns out that spring.profiles=batch line inside property file somehow breaks that file resolution, commenting it out fixed the issue.
UPDATE
Actually, that was a typo :\

Maven not loading dependency on local artifact

I have created my own jar file and want to connect it to another project as a dependency.
Inside the jar has its own pom file with dependencies.
When connecting jar with system scope, I have a problem - maven does not load the dependencies jar.
Maybe i forgot some plugin when building jar?
How can I make maven load dependencies from a local jar?

POM my project, where i want include my jar

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>ru.qa.eso</groupId>

</dependencies>

Please use "mvn install" or "mvn clean install" for building the dependency jar. Then add that dependency in dependent project and build.Hopefully it will resolve your issue

Can you try by including the scope as compile for dependency as below:
<dependency>
<groupId>ru.qa.eso</groupId>
<artifactId>push-qa</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0-alfa</version>
<scope>compile</scope>

Kindly go through following link to get more details regarding scope.

Upgrading to Java 11 JavaFX headache

today I installed JDK 11 and all my JavaFX stuff went haywire.
Fair enough, Oracle can do what they want. I'm trying to get my project back to a runnable state and this is the first time i've come across this modular stuff so no idea really what's going on.
I've managed to import the libraries as dependencies in Maven (although it couldn't find version 11 in maven of some of the libraries and I end up using 11-ea+19 for javafx-controls etc. - whatever..), so my code compiles fine with these dependencies:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-media</artifactId>
<version>11</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-fxml</artifactId>
<version>11-ea+25</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-swing</artifactId>
<version>11-ea+19</version>
</dependency>
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.openjfx</groupId>
<artifactId>javafx-controls</artifactId>
<version>11-ea+19</version>
</dependency>
Yeah I need them all.
So now I hope to run the program but no! We get an error at runtime:
Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application
Ok people have this problem all the time it seems, because they haven't added the "modules". The only problem is the people who are posting about this are not using maven and have downloaded a JavaFX SDK stored somewhere on their PC. Does Maven download these in a clever way or do I have to do the same thing and download a separate SDK? Then add the modules from there?! This looks a bit shoddy to me...
Really what I want to know is what I should put as my --module-path in order that I can --add-modules=javafx.controls,javafx.fxml,javafx.media,javafx.swing
Apologies for my frustrated tone. One of those days.

The exec-maven-plugin is not finding version 1.6.0, but I can clearly see it there in central repo on maven website. What the hell..same problem trying to get version 11 of the javafx libs.
EDIT: SOLVED: Something clearly wrong with my Maven setup, now using maven-exec-plugin version 1.4.0 and the thing works.

Please first remove all 11-ea+19 and put 11
I do not know why you can not find this version. See here for example: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.openjfx/javafx-controls/11
Please add this plugin to maven pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.0</version>

<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<mainClass>HelloFX</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
And after that execute:
mvn compile exec:java
This in eclipse is right button on the project -> Run As -> Maven build ...
and for the goals add:
compile exec:java
You also can see the example: https://openjfx.io/openjfx-docs/#maven
Hope I help. By the way this only will start you application in eclipse. I still do not know how to create executable jar and also jar which is backward compatible.
Happy coding!

Cucumber and Spring boot integration has error

Spring boot and cucumber integration, when I do package this project become jar use mvn package command and produce advvic-1.0.jar. But, if I run this jar
java -jar target/advvic-1.0.jar
I get this error :

However, if I extract this jar, I found cucumber-java.jar on lib folder

I had the exact same problem with a Spring Boot application that I wanted to use as a runner for Cucumber tests.
The problem is that Spring Boot repackages everything in its own way, thus making it hard for the default Cucumber ResourceLoaders to locate any cucumber.runtime.Backend classes as well as feature files and step definitions.
What I ended up doing was to implement a custom cucumber.runtime.io.ResourceLoader using Spring specific classes to search the classpath.
I got the idea for that at https://stackoverflow.com/a/17283721/3216618
PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver resolver = new PathMatchingResourcePatternResolver();
String locationPattern = ... use path and suffix to
Resource[] resources = resolver.getResources(locationPattern);
Finally you need to create an Iterable from the found org.springframework.core.io.Resource[]

Maybe this can help you:

maven assembly: unresolved compilation error

I've an application that uses Maven to build a JAR with the maven-assembly-plugin.
The project includes a list of dependencies and one of these is another Maven project.
I'm developing with Eclipse and when I run the project everything works fine. When I build with the Maven goal assembly:assembly, it makes the JAR but when I run the JAR it gives me this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problem:

The problem is related to the Java mail dependency. As you can see I've used com.sun.mail but I saw some other different libraries that correspond to javax.mail.
Maybe I'm missing something in my poms, such as configuration parameters or plugins.
I've also tried to put in my local repository a mail.jar that works fine in other projects but I get the same error.

The "Unresolved compilation problem" comes from a class file in your utils project that Eclipse has compiled, but where Eclipse was unable to compile it properly.
The reason you are seeing different results from Eclipse and Maven is that they are using different versions of the class file. Eclipse is doing workspace resolution, so it's using the version of SMTPMailService in utils/target/classes. Maven is resolving the utils jar from your local Maven repository, which was put there by running mvn install while you had compile errors in Eclipse.
Try running mvn clean install in the utils project (clean to remove any class files generated by Eclipse, install to replace the jar in your local repository). Then rebuild your assembly.
