title: Spring boot thin launcher exec jar is not located
body: <p>I have created a spring boot maven project and tried to convert it in to thin jar using plugin</p>
  
  <pre><code>       &lt;plugin&gt;
              &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot&lt;/groupId&gt;
              &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-maven-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
              &lt;dependencies&gt;
                  &lt;dependency&gt;
                      &lt;groupId&gt;org.springframework.boot.experimental&lt;/groupId&gt;
                      &lt;artifactId&gt;spring-boot-thin-layout&lt;/artifactId&gt;
                      &lt;version&gt;1.0.25.BUILD-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
                  &lt;/dependency&gt;
              &lt;/dependencies&gt;
