To create a [Spring Boot executable Java Archive](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/executable-jar.html)
(JAR) from the current project:

```java
@BuildCommand(summary = "Creates an executable JAR for the project")
public void bootjar() throws Exception {
    new BootJarOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .execute();
}
```

```console
./bld compile bootjar
```

To create a [Spring Boot executable Web Archive](https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/executable-jar.html#appendix.executable-jar.nested-jars.war-structure)
(WAR) from the current project:

```java
@BuildCommand(summary = "Creates an executable WAR for the project")
public void bootwar() throws Exception {
    new BootWarOperation()
            .fromProject(this)
            .execute();
}
```

```console
./bld compile bootwar
```

Don't forget to include the _Spring Boot Loader_ dependency to your project:

```java
scope(standalone)
    .include(dependency("org.springframeworkboot:spring-boot-loader:3.4.1"));
```

Please check the [BootJarOperation documentation](https://rife2.github.io/bld-spring-boot/rife/bld/extension/BootJarOperation.html#method-summary)
or [BootWarOperation documentation](https://rife2.github.io/bld-spring-boot/rife/bld/extension/BootWarOperation.html#method-summary)
for all available configuration options.
