I have a spring-boot executable WAR file which I launch using java -jar . Now I want to add the flexibility of having it reference JAR files outside of WAR file so as to enable customization of code. So e.g. I want to have to flexibility of having a jar being present in d:\mylib\my.jar and reference the classes in my.jar from code within the WAR file.

Is this possible? If yes, how?

I tried adding Class-Path and even editing the spring-boot-lib path in manifest.mf but no use.

I tried this earlier. The problem is I have a WAR file which is not loaded by PropertiesLauncher – Deepanshu Pahuja May 14 '19 at 10:15
