Maven Error: Could not find or load main class MyProject.jar

Question

I have a spring boot application which I am trying to run from command line on my Mac but I get following error:

Error: Could not find or load main class MyProject.jar

Here is my pom.xml

I have referred various posts online and as visible from above pom.xml, have tried adding <start-class>, spring-boot-maven-plugin, but nothing worked.

On further searching found following link Maven error: Could not find or load main class org.codehaus.plexus.classworlds.launcher.Launcher, I removed M2_HOME from .bash_profile which looked as below

export M2_HOME=/Users/myuser/Downloads/apache-maven-3.5.4
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin

Then I installed maven using brew -> deleted the .m2 folder -> ran mvn clean install-> run java MyProject.jar

Still facing same issue. Any ideas?
