Spring-boot-maven-plugin cannot find main class.
My apllication uses Spring Boot. I tried to connect my application to IBM bluemix. There were several errors -> "Error: Could not find or load main class class". I started to look for some places in my code where this fail could appered. Bluemix uses war so my application make .war not .jar. I found strange think in war file in MANIFEST.MF.
Sentence under red string is "Cannot resolve class "${start-class}.
I think this is the place, which destroy process od deploying in bluemix. I red, that spring-boot-maven-plugin is responsible for creating this MANIFEST.mf. I tried a lot change this manifest, but I suppose, I hit wall. I nedd to add, that with the same application on STS Eclipse there wasn't problem, and application was deployed on bluemix.

I cannot reproduce the problem using war:war target via Maven. Screenshots looks like you created the WAR file/MAINFEST.MF via IDE itself, not Maven.
Try to execute clean:clean in Maven again to make sure everything is rebuilt from scratch.
Sorry, but I forget show how I run this application. I added 'Build 'demo:war exploded' artifact" to standard Run Configuration of SpringBoot:

Do you think, that directly using Maven (from cmd) is better way to creating war file, then creating Run Configuration in IDE?
Unless you want to replicate every single step that Maven war:war target does incl. behind the scene "magic", then yes.
