We ran into the same problem, actually, on the same day you posted this. Our solutions was to use the shade plugin for maven to edit our build a bit. We found that when packaging with the spring-boot-maven plugin it nested our classes in BOOT-INF/classes which spark didn't like. I'll paste the relevant section so you can try it out on your own application -- good luck!

<build>
   <plugins>
      <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>

If your are using gradle this will work for shadow plugin:

import com.github.jengelman.gradle.plugins.shadow.transformers.*

...

plugins {
    id 'com.github.johnrengelman.shadow' version '2.0.4'
}

...

shadowJar {
    zip64 true
    mergeServiceFiles()
    append 'META-INF/spring.handlers'
    append 'META-INF/spring.schemas'
    append 'META-INF/spring.tooling'
    transform(PropertiesFileTransformer) {
        paths = ['META-INF/spring.factories' ]
        mergeStrategy = "append"
    }
}

Answer 3

I have found that simply skipping the class name from spark-submit works, i.e. --class com.dip.sparkapp.SparkappApplication

Answer 4

This works for me

<transformer implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
    <manifestEntries>
        <Main-Class>packagename.classname</Main-Class>
    </manifestEntries>
</transformer>
