In attempts to make a standalone JAR that I can launch cleanly and independently, I've ran into issues involving Jersey and my desirable, fat JAR. The final jar will be moved to a Docker image.
The error that I am getting is essentially this:
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.glassfish.jersey.server.ResourceConfig]: Factory method 'jerseyResourceConfig' threw exception; nested exception is org.glassfish.jersey.server.internal.scanning.ResourceFinderException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /dir/myproject-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/BOOT-INF/classes (No such file or directory)

Finally, here are all of the jersey dependencies that I am using:

I've read through all of the sources that are referenced from this SO question. I was led through a few github issues that both Spring and Jersey have apparently fixed, yet I am still dealing with these complications. The unique thing about my complication is that the boot-inf/classes that are not found is directly inside my jar and referencing the project itself. Its not complaining about a different, depended on jar, its complaining about the project's own /BOOT-INF/classes.
Any additional insight not mentioned in the aforementioned SO question would be extremely useful! I find that Java is incredibly more difficult to work with in Docker than any other stack that I've experienced (python-django and node-js). Let me know if more information is desired.
