On occasion I'll get the error below when trying to run my jar executable. trying to run it again a few times would eventually succeed and the system would work right. as far as I can tell only one version of logback is packed within my jar, so I don't believe there's an older version picked up while running. there are no other files or folders beside my jar. using spring-boot 1.3.8 (have seen this in older releases as well in the past)

thanks

  • when adding requires unpack for logback I'd stumble upon a different package - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/boot/SpringBootExceptionHandler from the behavior that it would only fail on occasion it feels like the classpath isn't ready on time when running within a jar – Richard Hendricks Jan 12 '17 at 09:02

It appears that this is solved by raising the max open files at the o/s level from default of 1024 to some higher value.
