I have deployed a spring boot application in Azure kubernetes. The application uses maven for build and works normally on my local system. But when I deploy it in AKS using github action, the pod goes into error. The log shows following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: package com.LearnBS.JavaBS.JavaBsApplication at java.base/java.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:445) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:592) at .springframework.boot.loader.protocol.jar.JarUrlClassLoader.loadClass(JarUrlClassLoader.java:107 at .springframework.boot.loader.launch.LaunchedClassLoader.loadClass(LaunchedClassLoader.java:91) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:525) at java.base/java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.base/java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:467) at .springframework.boot.loader.launch.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:99) at .springframework.boot.loader.launch.Launcher.launch(Launcher.java:64) at .springframework.boot.loader.launch.JarLauncher.main(JarLauncher.java:40)

I looked at solutions provided for similar situation, but none of that is working.

Here is my POM.XML
