This is an example of a Spring Boot application that can be deployed as a Windows service. It is based on the code from https://github.com/snicoll-scratches/spring-boot-daemon.
The dist folder holds the JAR file built from the code at
https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/SpringBootStopper along with the winsw executable
and configuration from https://github.com/kohsuke/winsw, and the Spring Boot
JAR compiled from this project.
To install the Spring Boot JAR as a service, run:
SpringBoot.exe install
To remove the service, run:
SpringBoot.exe uninstall
