thank you @Ashraf Sarhan, you rescue my two days :) I added in pom file:

         
            org.springframework.boot
            spring-boot-maven-plugin
            
                ZIP
                true
                vn.com.Mymainclass
                
                    
                        com.vn.groupId
                        excluded-id-a
                    
                    
                        com.vn.groupId
                        excluded-id-b
                    
                
            
            
                
                    
                        repackage
                    
                
            
        

And Placed ./lib folder containing two jars of two files which excluded above beside with my-main-spring-boot-app.jar file, and I ran:

java -Dloader.path="lib/" -jar my-main-spring-boot-app.jar

It worked perfectly.
