Exception when execute jar file from cmd - spring

Question

I want to execute an spring based jar file from cmd.
This is my pom.xml:

I created a jar file in intelliJ and it went ok, but when I do: java -jar fileserver-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/boot/SpringApplication
EDIT: Cmd error
Mvn clean package:
mvn clean package from intelliJ

I've been looking for other answers but no one worked for me. Hope someone can help

Answer 1

Either you code has some static references that is not getting resolved or the fat jar has some dependency library missing
Why am I getting a NoClassDefFoundError in Java?
