== Configuration Metadata
Spring Boot jars include metadata files that provide details of all supported
configuration properties. The files are designed to let IDE developers offer
contextual help and "`code completion`" as users are working with `application.properties`
or `application.yml` files.
Spring Boot jars include metadata files that provide details of all supported configuration properties.
The files are designed to let IDE developers offer contextual help and "`code completion`" as users are working with `application.properties` or `application.yml` files.
The majority of the metadata file is generated automatically at compile time by
processing all items annotated with `@ConfigurationProperties`. However, it is possible
to <<configuration-metadata-additional-metadata,write part of the metadata manually>>
for corner cases or more advanced use cases.

The preceding code makes sure that the deprecated property still works (delegating
to the `name` property behind the scenes). Once the `getTarget` and `setTarget`
methods can be removed from your public API, the automatic deprecation hint in the
metadata goes away as well. If you want to keep a hint, adding manual metadata with
an `error` deprecation level ensures that users are still informed about that property.

each having potentially overlapping property names. While the same names appearing in the

ensure that they support it.

This can be problematic if you need to distribute a self-contained application that can be run from the command line without unpacking.
To solve this problem, many developers use "`shaded`" jars. A shaded jar packages
all classes, from all jars, into a single "`uber jar`". The problem with shaded jars is
that it becomes hard to see which libraries are actually in your application.
It can also be problematic if the same filename is used (but with different content)
in multiple jars. Spring Boot takes a different approach and lets you actually nest

=== Launching Executable Jars
The `org.springframework.boot.loader.Launcher` class is a special bootstrap class that

It is the actual `Main-Class` in your jar file, and it is used to setup an appropriate `URLClassLoader` and ultimately call your `main()` method.
There are three launcher subclasses (`JarLauncher`, `WarLauncher`, and
`PropertiesLauncher`). Their purpose is to load resources (`.class` files and so on.) from
nested jar files or war files in directories (as opposed to those explicitly on the
classpath). In the case of `JarLauncher` and `WarLauncher`, the nested paths are fixed.
`JarLauncher` looks in `BOOT-INF/lib/`, and `WarLauncher` looks in `WEB-INF/lib/` and
`WEB-INF/lib-provided/`. You can add extra jars in those locations if you want more. The
`PropertiesLauncher` looks in `BOOT-INF/lib/` in your application archive by default, but
you can add additional locations by setting an environment variable called `LOADER_PATH`
or `loader.path` in `loader.properties` (which is a comma-separated list of directories,
archives, or directories within archives).

The following rules apply to working with `PropertiesLauncher`:
* `loader.properties` is searched for in `loader.home`, then in the root of the
classpath, and then in `classpath:/BOOT-INF/classes`. The first location where a file
with that name exists is used.
* `loader.home` is the directory location of an additional properties file
(overriding the default) only when `loader.config.location` is not specified.
* `loader.path` can contain directories (which are scanned recursively for jar and zip
files), archive paths, a directory within an archive that is scanned for jar files (for
example, `dependencies.jar!/lib`), or wildcard patterns (for the default JVM behavior).
Archive paths can be relative to `loader.home` or anywhere in the file system with a

[[executable-jar-zip-entry-compression]]
* Zip entry compression:
The `ZipEntry` for a nested jar must be saved by using the `ZipEntry.STORED` method. This
is required so that we can seek directly to individual content within the nested jar.
The content of the nested jar file itself can still be compressed, as can any other
entries in the outer jar.

== Deploying to the Cloud
Spring Boot's executable jars are ready-made for most popular cloud PaaS
(Platform-as-a-Service) providers. These providers tend to require that you
"`bring your own container`". They manage application processes (not Java applications
specifically), so they need an intermediary layer that adapts _your_ application to the

Spring Boot's executable jars are ready-made for most popular cloud PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) providers.
These providers tend to require that you "`bring your own container`".
They manage application processes (not Java applications specifically), so they need an intermediary layer that adapts _your_ application to the _cloud's_ notion of a running process.
Two popular cloud providers, Heroku and Cloud Foundry, employ a "`buildpack`" approach.
The buildpack wraps your deployed code in whatever is needed to _start_ your application.
It might be a JDK and a call to `java`, an embedded web server, or a full-fledged
application server. A buildpack is pluggable, but ideally you should be able to get by
with as few customizations to it as possible. This reduces the footprint of functionality
that is not under your control. It minimizes divergence between development and production
environments.

can be executed like any other executable binary or it can be
<<deployment-service,registered with `init.d` or `systemd`>>. This makes it very easy to
install and manage Spring Boot applications in common production environments.

This makes it very easy to install and manage Spring Boot applications in common production environments.
CAUTION: Fully executable jars work by embedding an extra script at the front of the file.
Currently, some tools do not accept this format, so you may not always be able to use this
technique. For example, `jar -xf` may silently fail to extract a jar or war that has been
made fully executable. It is recommended that you make your jar or war fully executable
only if you intend to execute it directly, rather than running it with `java -jar`
or deploying it to a servlet container.

===== Customizing a Script When It Runs
For items of the script that need to be customized _after_ the jar has been written, you
can use environment variables or a <<deployment-script-customization-conf-file, config
file>>.
For items of the script that need to be customized _after_ the jar has been written, you can use environment variables or a <<deployment-script-customization-conf-file, config file>>.
The following environment properties are supported with the default script:
[cols="1,6"]
|===
|Variable |Description
| Variable | Description
|`MODE`
|The "`mode`" of operation. The default depends on the way the jar was built but is
usually `auto` (meaning it tries to guess if it is an init script by checking if it is a
symlink in a directory called `init.d`). You can explicitly set it to `service` so that
the `stop\|start\|status\|restart` commands work or to `run` if you want to run the
script in the foreground.

default).
| `CONF_FOLDER`
| The name of the folder from which to read .conf files (same folder as jar-file by default).
|`LOG_FILENAME`
|The name of the log file in the `LOG_FOLDER` (`<appname>.log` by default).
| `LOG_FILENAME`
| The name of the log file in the `LOG_FOLDER` (`<appname>.log` by default).
|`APP_NAME`
|The name of the app. If the jar is run from a symlink, the script guesses the app name.
If it is not a symlink or you want to explicitly set the app name, this can be useful.
| `APP_NAME`
| The name of the app.
If the jar is run from a symlink, the script guesses the app name.
If it is not a symlink or you want to explicitly set the app name, this can be useful.
|`RUN_ARGS`
|The arguments to pass to the program (the Spring Boot app).
| `RUN_ARGS`
| The arguments to pass to the program (the Spring Boot app).
|`JAVA_HOME`
|The location of the `java` executable is discovered by using the `PATH` by default, but
you can set it explicitly if there is an executable file at `$JAVA_HOME/bin/java`.
| `JAVA_HOME`
| The location of the `java` executable is discovered by using the `PATH` by default, but you can set it explicitly if there is an executable file at `$JAVA_HOME/bin/java`.
|`JAVA_OPTS`
|Options that are passed to the JVM when it is launched.
| `JAVA_OPTS`
| Options that are passed to the JVM when it is launched.
|`JARFILE`
|The explicit location of the jar file, in case the script is being used to launch a jar
that it is not actually embedded.
| `JARFILE`
| The explicit location of the jar file, in case the script is being used to launch a jar that it is not actually embedded.
|`DEBUG`
|If not empty, sets the `-x` flag on the shell process, making it easy to see the logic
in the script.
| `DEBUG`
| If not empty, sets the `-x` flag on the shell process, making it easy to see the logic in the script.
|`STOP_WAIT_TIME`
|The time in seconds to wait when stopping the application before forcing a shutdown (`60`
by default).
| `STOP_WAIT_TIME`
| The time in seconds to wait when stopping the application before forcing a shutdown (`60` by default).

Spring Boot makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based
Applications that you can run. We take an opinionated view of the Spring platform and
third-party libraries, so that you can get started with minimum fuss. Most Spring Boot
applications need very little Spring configuration.

Our primary goals are:
* Provide a radically faster and widely accessible getting-started experience for all
Spring development.
* Be opinionated out of the box but get out of the way quickly as requirements start to
diverge from the defaults.
* Provide a range of non-functional features that are common to large classes of projects

=== Installation Instructions for the Java Developer
You can use Spring Boot in the same way as any standard Java library. To do so, include
the appropriate `+spring-boot-*.jar+` files on your classpath. Spring Boot does not
require any special tools integration, so you can use any IDE or text editor. Also, there
is nothing special about a Spring Boot application, so you can run and debug a Spring
Boot application as you would any other Java program.

The final part of our application is the `main` method. This is just a standard method
that follows the Java convention for an application entry point. Our main method
delegates to Spring Boot's `SpringApplication` class by calling `run`.
`SpringApplication` bootstraps our application, starting Spring, which, in turn, starts
the auto-configured Tomcat web server. We need to pass `Example.class` as an argument to
the `run` method to tell `SpringApplication` which is the primary Spring component. The
`args` array is also passed through to expose any command-line arguments.

Java does not provide a standard way to load nested jar files (jar files that are themselves contained within a jar).
This can be problematic if you are looking to distribute a self-contained application.
To solve this problem, many developers use "`uber`" jars. An uber jar packages all the
classes from all the application's dependencies into a single archive. The problem with
this approach is that it becomes hard to see which libraries are in your application. It
can also be problematic if the same filename is used (but with different content) in
multiple jars.

The Spring Boot CLI is a command line tool that you can use if you want to quickly develop
a Spring application. It lets you run Groovy scripts, which means that you have a familiar
Java-like syntax without so much boilerplate code. You can also bootstrap a new project or
write your own command for it.

the default dependency management, can be configured by using the
`@DependencyManagementBom` annotation. The annotation's value should specify the
coordinates (`groupId:artifactId:version`) of one or more Maven BOMs.
