Run configuration for spring-boot application

[vhooz]

I have the following error trying to run a spring-boot application:

[ERROR]: Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.2:java (default-cli) It runs fine on my local terminal with $mvn spring-boot:run.

After some searching I identified the issue in my pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-tomcat</artifactId>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

The application fails to run because the parent pom has set the provided flag. Only after removing the provided tag , the debuger works.

Is it posible to provide the missing dependencies from the launch configuration ? I do not want to have to change my pom every-time im going to run a service locally. I rather a launch configuration file aready set .

this is my launch configuration:

{
  "type": "jdk",
  "name": "Spring Boot App",
  "request": "launch",
  "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
  "vmArgs": "-Dspring.boot.starter.tomcat.include=true",
  "classPaths": [
    "C://ws//libs//*"
  ]
}

This update ensures that now class-paths also support relative paths and star (*) expansion alongwith module-paths. We'd love to hear your feedback—does the experience with version 24.0.0 feel more intuitive now? Let us know if there are any remaining concerns or improvements you'd suggest!
