Unknown lifecycle phase "spring-boot"

java, maven, spring, spring-boot, spring-mvc

Solution

Add Spring Boot Maven Plugin in your pom.xml

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.5.3.RELEASE</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>repackage</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>

To run your application, Instead of

`mvn spring-boot run`

use

`mvn spring-boot:run`

Problem

I have a Spring Boot Multi Module Project in which there is 3 libraries jar and a main application that uses these libraries. This is the pom.xml of 1 of my modules ``` <?xml version="1.0"?> <project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <groupId>com.tdk-cloud</groupId> <artifactId>tdk-cloud</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> <groupId>com.tdk.web</groupId> <artifactId>tdk-web</artifactId> <packaging>jar</packaging> <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <java.version>1.8</java.version> </properties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId> </dependency> <!-- tdk-core dependencies --> <dependency> <groupId>com.tdk.core</groupId> <artifactId>tdk-core</artifactId> <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <!-- Webjars for JQuery and Bootstrap --> <dependency> <groupId>org.webjars</groupId> <artifactId>bootstrap</artifactId> <version>3.3.7-1</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.webjars</groupId> <artifactId>jquery</artifactId> <version>3.2.0</version> </dependency> <!-- Spring Security --> <dependency> <groupId>org.thymeleaf.extras</groupId> <artifactId>thymeleaf-extras-springsecurity4</artifactId> <!-- <version>3.0.2.RELEASE</version> --> </dependency> </dependencies> </project> ``` but when I compile and run your application using `mvn spring-boot run` I got this error: ``` [ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase "spring-boot". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format <plugin-prefix>:<goal> or <plugin-group-id>:<plugin-artifact-id>[:<plugin-version>]:<goal>. Available lifecycle phases are: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile, process-classes, generate-test-sources, process-test-sources, generate-test-resources, process-test-resources, test-compile, process-test-classes, test, prepare-package, package, pre-integration-test, integration-test, post-integration-test, verify, install, deploy, pre-clean, clean, post-clean, pre-site, site, post-site, site-deploy. -> [Help 1] ```
