Research direction

Start by reviewing the OpenTelemetry Java Instrumentation Spring Boot smoke tests linked in the issue, then inspect this repository for its existing smoke-test structure and agent entry points. Add a Spring Boot smoke test that exercises the agent in Spring Boot's executable-jar and custom-ClassLoader setup; done means the smoke test runs successfully and covers dependency discovery such as Trace ID injection.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Spring Boot packages its apps in a unique way, and loads dependencies using a custom ClassLoader that makes them invisble to the System Class Loader which the agent uses at premain to discover useful dependencies like Trace ID injection libraries. More generally, we've had issues specific to spring boot in the past and should have a way to smoke test Spring Boot apps.
