META-INF / spring classes do not have auto configuration classes.

Question

META-INF / spring classes do not have auto configuration classes.

I am trying to create a jar executable with Eclipse from my Spring boot application. The plugin that I have in my pom.xml is below

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <fork>true</fork>
                <mainClass>nl.insiteweb.acc.Application</mainClass>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>repackage</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>

The full error I get is:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to process import candidates for configuration class [nl.insiteweb.acc.Application]; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No auto configuration classes found in META-INF/spring.factories. If you are using a custom packaging, make sure that file is correct.
