Generating RPM from a spring boot project

Question

I am making an application and want to generate RPM for it. There is a POM file attached in which i tried using some plugin to generate RPM. Unfortunately it is not working.

The error i am getting with the plugin codehaus plugin is -

Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:rpm-maven-plugin:2.2.0:rpm (default-cli)

This is my POM File
