spring boot version 2.5.2, Jar generation problem

Question

By default 2 jar files gets generated applicationName-version.jar (executable jar) and appName-version-plain.jar (plain jar). I hate to see this jar along with the executable jar and tried to stop with

jar{
   enabled = true
   archiveClassified = "" 
}

Also, have tried with the combinations with bootJar = enabled but no luck either.

with this property the executable jar remains no more executable.. how can I generate only executable jar. Pls help.

You can't because Spring needs to generate the normal JAR and repackage the JAR to the executable JAR.

}
