How can I include a third-party war in my Spring-Boot app? I\'d like to stick to a single, executable artifact instead of going the traditional tomcat deployment route, but
While not strictly an answer to the question, there is now a jar for hawt.io that works specifically with spring boot, which makes the requested requirement unnecessary (io.hawt:hawtio-springboot:jar:1.4.20).
The module code is here - https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/hawtio-springboot
With example usage shown here - https://github.com/hawtio/hawtio/tree/master/hawtio-sample-springboot
