spring boot - no main artifact

Question

I have created a Spring Boot application, I have build the project and selected the main class and I have also added properties in my pom.xml:

<properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
        <start-class>com.mua.scraper.ScraperApplication</start-class>
    </properties>

Now the problem is when I try to run the .jar file, it tell me that MainClassNotFound. Here is a snap:

Later project will be opend here

After changing the command, here is my output:

Error:

No main artifact

You are missing -jar to properly run the jar file. It should be:

java -jar scrapper.jar

And use `./mvnw package` to generate an executable jar instead of `./mvnw jar:jar`. – azizunsal Nov 07 '19 at 08:52
@azizunsal can you describe a little please ? – Maifee Ul Asad Nov 07 '19 at 13:25
It is needed to run `./mvnw spring-boot:repackage` to create an executable jar indeed. Since you added the `execution` goal under `build` plugin, `repackage` is applied after Maven `package` phase. So the resulting jar is an executable one (*the fat jar*), and you can run it by typing `jar -jar target/scrapper.jar`. – azizunsal Nov 08 '19 at 07:09

Actually the problem was in my artifact, so here is what I have done:
