Installation (startup.bat) script won't start my app, error appears-CodePudding

I'm trying to create .bat script that will start my Java application. Application uses a lot of the dependencies so I have to create a fat jar:

I did that by adding this dependency to my pom.xml:

pom.xml

            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.1.1</version>
    
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifest>
                            <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                            <mainClass>my.path.MicroserviceApp</mainClass>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>
                    
                    <descriptorRefs>
                        <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                    </descriptorRefs>
                </configuration>
    
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>make-assembly</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>single</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>

            </plugin>

After that I executed maven clean install which created two jar files in my target folder. One 'normal' jar and one fat jar. I used path to that fat jar and I tried to run it via my script but I got error.

Bat Script:

echo off

set "JAVA_HOME=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_291"
set "PATH=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_291/bin;%PATH%"
set "MICRO_HTTP=C:/Users/just.quest/workspace/application_parent/MicroserviceApp"

set "CLASSPATH=%MICRO_HTTP%/target/MicroserviceApp-20.14.1-1-jar-with-dependencies.jar"

java -jar %CLASSPATH%

pause

And error that I'm getting:

}Press any key to continue . . .

So as you can see, it seems there is some problem with the "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories."

I've tried to google this but I couldn't find anything useful and I've already spent too much time on this so I'm out of options. I hope someone knows how can I start application from my command prompt.

When I start application from Eclipse, everything works fine. This error is present only when I use my .bat script.

Thanks M. Deinum, that fixed my problem:

I had to replace maven-assembly-plugin with the:

      <build>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                         <classifier>exec</classifier>
                    </configuration>
                 </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
      </build>
