Force Amazon Corretto Java 17 in Spring Boot Maven Docker Image Build
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I'm building a Docker image using Spring Boot and Maven, but it defaults to BellSoft Liberica instead of the desired Java 17 Amazon Corretto.
The log indicates that it's using the Paketo Buildpack for BellSoft Liberica 10.2.6 and a BP_JVM_VERSION of 8.*, which shows that the configuration isn't applying the intended settings.
I attempted to configure the builder in the pom.xml with:
XML<builder>paketobuildpacks/builder:base</builder>
but this did not work. Here's the current configuration:
XML<build> <finalName>xyz</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>build-image</goal> </goals> <configuration> <mainClass>com.abc.MyApp</mainClass> <image> <builder>paketobuildpacks/builder:full</builder> <env> <BP_JVM_VERSION>17</BP_JVM_VERSION> <BP_JAVA_RUNTIME>corretto</BP_JAVA_RUNTIME> </env> </image> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
How can I modify my configuration so that the final Docker image uses Java 17 with Amazon Corretto instead of Liberica?

Below is one way to force the buildpack to use Amazon Corretto for Java 17. The key is to set the correct environment variable name for the Java vendor. Instead of using BP_JAVA_RUNTIME, you should set BP_JAVA_VENDOR with the value “amazon”. For example:
XML<build> <finalName>xyz</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>build-image</goal> </goals> <configuration> <mainClass>com.abc.MyApp</mainClass> <image> <builder>paketobuildpacks/builder:full</builder> <env> <BP_JVM_VERSION>17</BP_JVM_VERSION> <BP_JAVA_VENDOR>amazon</BP_JAVA_VENDOR> </env> </image> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Why this works
The Paketo Buildpacks use the BP_JAVA_VENDOR variable to determine which Java distribution to install. Setting it to “amazon” directs the buildpack to use Amazon Corretto rather than the default (commonly BellSoft Liberica). Make sure that the builder you are using supports Amazon Corretto. If you still run into issues, consider verifying the available distributions in the builder’s documentation.
This change should ensure that your final image uses Java 17 from Amazon Corretto rather than Liberica.

You have to specify the build packs as mentioned in below reference:
You can get more information about buildpacks from below reference in the Build pack section:
Here is how you can achieve it, by modifying pom.xml
XML<build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <image> <builder>paketobuildpacks/builder:base</builder> <buildpacks> <buildpack>gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/amazon-corretto</buildpack> <buildpack>urn:cnb:builder:paketo-buildpacks/java</buildpack> </buildpacks> <env> <BP_JVM_VERSION>17</BP_JVM_VERSION> </env> </image> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
