Spring-boot: Shade in spring-boot-starter-parent is misconfigured

[davibo]

When trying to use the default Shade plugin configuration with Maven that is inherited form spring-boot-starter-parent, I get the following error from Maven:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:2.1:shade (default) on project spring-boot-example: 
Unable to parse configuration of mojo org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:2.1:shade for parameter transformers: 
Cannot load implementation hint 'org.springframework.maven.packaging.PropertiesMergingResourceTransformer' 
-> [Help 1]

My POM in this case looks like:

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

I think the package name of PropertiesMergingResourceTransformer should be org.springframework.boot.maven.PropertiesMergingResourceTransformer

I've tried the following POM and it generated a proper shaded jar and is working correctly:

<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                                <transformer

I succeeded in building the project using your method.but the generated jar package failed to run and there was a 'java.lang.ClassNotFounfException' error.

@davibo solution works, additionally the auto-generated pom.xml doesn't set the version correctly.
