Add external library .jar to Spring boot .jar internal /lib

Question

I have an external .jar that cannot be imported from public repositories using pom.xml, it\'s sqljdbc41.jar.

I can run the project locally from my IDE,

Answer 1

In my case, the fault was providing a version number without "dot" in tag:

        
        jdk.tools
        jdk.tools
        system
        1
        ${basedir}/src/main/resources/lib/tools.jar
    

This one works:

        
        jdk.tools
        jdk.tools
        system
        1.8
        ${basedir}/src/main/resources/lib/tools.jar
