java - Getting a pom file in my jar created using maven clean package -

i have spring boot application along maven handle dependencies.

i creating jar file using maven command "mvn clean package".

jar file getting created when see content of jar

lib/all-1.1.2.pom in lib folder includes required dependency jars.

could please tell possible reason getting since dont have such dependency in pom.xml.

if you're using spring boot, in pom.xml, should have :

<parent>     <groupid>org.springframework.boot</groupid>     <artifactid>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactid>     <version>1.3.5.release</version>   </parent> 

this parent of spring boot application include dependencies spring boot application.

also, suggest see documentation : http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/using-boot-build-systems.html
