Tomcat servlet unable to start, but only after packaging application with Beryx plugin

Time:10-14

Finished developing my application a week or so ago, but I'm having some problems getting it packaged. It runs perfectly fine when I compile it normally, or run it through Gradle, but whenever I package it up, half of it breaks.

At the moment, I'm using the Badass Runtime Plugin to get it packaged as a macOS application, but for some reason, whenever I launch the .app that it created, I get this monstrous error about the tomcat server failing to start.

New to Spring/Gradle/Jpackage - if there is other helpful information I could provide, please let me know!

CodePudding user response:

have you added this dependency to your pom file :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

CodePudding user response:
