Looks like a bug in spring-boot-maven-plugin together with your version of Maven.

As far as I can tell, Maven knows that the WAR plugin will generate the file target/compiled-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war. when it asks the spring-boot-maven-plugin for its output, it will get the same name. Since Maven doesn't know what the plugin does, it will assume that both are configured to create the same output file and stop since that can't be what you want (the files will overwrite each other).

Try with the latest version of Maven or file a bug against the spring-boot-maven-plugin. Let them know which version of Maven you're using.
