Spring Boot jar - META-INF inside BOOT-INF folder

Question

Is there any way to have META-INF folder inside BOOT-INF in spring boot packaging jar? This might be a trivial question, but not sure how to do it. Below is the way i am packaging right now which created three folders BOOT_INF, META_INF, ORG. The reason of asking this is because runnable jar is not able to locate a folder which is inside META-INF.
