Answer 1

I think there is a bug in the current yeoman generator. I was able to resolve this by using the plugin in the jhipster sample project.

                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                    <configuration>
                        <arguments>
                            <argument>--spring.profiles.active=prod</argument>
                        </arguments>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>

Answer 2

I have simply doubts that you will use SNAPSHOT as you required by using in your example.

org.springframework:springloaded:jar:1.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT

You should use this:

org.springframework:springloaded:jar:1.2.0.RELEASE 

instead. So you need to change the version entries in your pom file accordingly.

Answer 3

You must just choose you folder project:

Go to run → debug configuration → build maven → browser workspace.

Finally choose your project folder.

Answer 4

The same message is also displayed when you chose to use gradle during the jhipster setup phase (kinda obvious). Maven is not complaining about the missing pom.xml but generates this obscure message.

For gradle based builds the command is

gradlew bootRun

then get some coffe cause its gonna download loads! of stuff
