pom.xml missing config for application class

[uvwild]

The spring-boot-maven-plugin in the pom.xml is missing the configuration for the main class causing spring-boot:run to fail with a ClassNotFound exception!

Adding the following configuration to the pom solves the issue!!!

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <mainClass>example.App</mainClass>
                <layout>ZIP</layout>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
