If you package it as a single jar and it's non web app try to load app context as below.

@SpringBootApplication

ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(Main.class);

Or use below plugin to package as a single jar

             
                org.springframework.boot
                spring-boot-maven-plugin
                
                    
                        
                            repackage
                        
                    
                
            

you can specify the external configs by using below command to run

java -jar myproject.jar --spring.config.location=classpath:/default.properties,classpath:/override.properties

/http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlboot-features-external-config.html#boot-features-external-config-application-property-files

Note that if you are passing the properties as arguments then don't include @PropertySource("classpath:test.properties") it will override the parameters
