It's not surprising you don't see any variables, for if you did, it
wouldn't show up as '${start-class}', but would have been resolved in
the effective POM.

If the variable is in the POM, it's a Maven thing (or a CI server thing
-- but not a spring-boot thing).

Now as to what the original intent was, it's hard to tell. It may be
that it was passed as an argument in the build environment - although
considering the name of the variable, that seems somewhat unlikely,
albeit not impossible.

What's the context of that variable (the lines around it) and what's
your problem with it?
