+While it is possible to convert a Spring Boot uber jar into a docker image with just a few lines in the Dockerfile, we will use the <> to create an optimized docker image.
When you create a jar containing the layers index file, the `spring-boot-jarmode-layertools` jar will be added as a dependency to your jar.
With this jar on the classpath, you can launch your application in a special mode which allows the bootstrap code to run something entirely different from your application, for example, something that extracts the layers.

+It is easily possible to package a Spring Boot uber jar as a docker image.
+However, there are various downsides to copying and running the uber jar as is in the docker image.
+There’s always a certain amount of overhead when running a uber jar without unpacking it, and in a containerized environment this can be noticeable.
The other issue is that putting your application's code and all its dependencies in one layer in the Docker image is sub-optimal.
Since you probably recompile your code more often than you upgrade the version of Spring Boot you use, it’s often better to separate things a bit more.
If you put jar files in the layer before your application classes, Docker often only needs to change the very bottom layer and can pick others up from its cache.

+1. Creates a {boot-jar-javadoc}[`BootJar`] task named `bootJar` that will create an executable, uber jar for the project.
The jar will contain everything on the runtime classpath of the main source set; classes are packaged in `BOOT-INF/classes` and jars are packaged in `BOOT-INF/lib`
2. Configures the `assemble` task to depend on the `bootJar` task.
3. Configures the `jar` task to use `plain` as the convention for its archive classifier.
