         <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga/</url>
       </repository>
     </repositories>
   
     <!-- Specify the repositories containing the plugins used to execute the build of your application. -->
     <pluginRepositories>
       <pluginRepository>
         <id>redhat-ga</id>
         <name>Red Hat GA Repository</name>

             <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
             <version>${spring-boot-maven-plugin.version}</version>
             <executions>
               <execution>
                   <goals>

2. Add spring-boot-maven-plugin as the plugin that Maven uses to package your application to the <build> section of the pom.xml. The plugin version is automatically managed by the parent BOM.

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