Spring Boot 2 - Change Jar Name

Question

I am using Spring Boot 2 in my Gradle project to do a build to jar in Jenkins, and I would like to change the name of that jar file.

By default, Spring Boot 2 used the G

Answer 1

Thanks to @AndyWilkinson for the answer!

bootJar {
  baseName "jarName"
  launchScript()
}

.

springBoot {
  buildInfo {
    properties {
      group = "groupName"
      name = "projectName"
      version = "1.0"
    }
  }
}

Answer 2

For me worked

project(':org.awseome.subproject') {
 jar() {
     archiveFileName = 'nameOfJar.jar'
 }
}

inside of main build.gradle. Used

Gradle 6.X Spring Boot 2.X

Answer 3

You can also use:

tasks.bootJar {
    archiveFileName.set("app.jar")
}

Or with the jar-plugin

tasks.jar {
    archiveFileName.set("app.jar")
}

Answer 4

My goal was to remove version from the archive name. I did it this way:

bootJar {
   archiveName = "$baseName.$extension"
}

Now Gradle generates "project-name.jar" instead of "project-name-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar". This solution is general and doesn't hardcode any particular archive name.

Answer 5

Since bootJar tasks extends Jar you can use archiveName to set name the directly:

bootJar {
   archiveName = 'whatever'
}

Have a look here.

Answer 6

archiveFileName is the new hotness. Everything else is deprecated.

bootJar {
   archiveFileName = "${archiveBaseName.get()}.${archiveExtension.get()}"
}

or the Kotlin DSL equivalent:

tasks.getByName<org.springframework.boot.gradle.tasks.bundling.BootJar>("bootJar") {
   this.archiveFileName.set("${archiveBaseName.get()}.${archiveExtension.get()}")
}
