I am building my Spring Boot application using Maven, so I can start it with:

You can use loader.path but only if the Main-Class is PropertiesLauncher (so it depends how you built the JAR file). Maybe you need to re-build the JAR with packaging=ZIP in the Boot plugin (e.g. docs here)? Can you not set the path to the keystore as a "file:" URL?
