I have created a spring boot wrapper class as follows:
package package.for;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
@ComponentScan
@EnableAutoConfiguration
public class AppBooter {
public static void main(String args[]){
SpringApplication.run("path/to/context.xml", args);
System.out.println("============ done");
do{
}while(true);
}
}
context.xml contains the bean pointing to the main class as follows:
<bean id="starter" class="package.for.AppBooter" />
as well as several other beans I require.
As for dependencies I have the following:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot</artifactId>
<version>1.1.7.RELEASE</version>

However when I run I get the following exceptions:

As for how I am packaging the jar here is the plugin snippet:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<mainClass>package.for.AppBooter</mainClass>
</configuration>
