Previously, FindMainClassTask would look for a property named main
on any class named run. This was based on the assumption that the
run task would be a JavaExec task (typically provided by the
application plugin). If the run task was not a JavaExec task (more
accurately, if it did not have a main property) this would result in
a build failure due to trying to read a non-existent property.
This commit updates FindMainClassTask to only use the main property
of the run task if the task is a JavaExec task. This guarantees that
the property will exist on the task, and unlike using any property
named main on a task named run, also guarantee that its value will
refer to a Java class with a main method.

Flip the default value of `addResources` for both the Maven and Gradle
plugins. This effectively turns off static resources reloading and, more
importantly, the pruning of duplicate resources from the target
directory.
As devetools is our mainstram solution for such feature, the documantion
has been updated to reflect that.
Closes gh-4227
Add an `excludeDevtools` property to both the Maven and Gradle plugin
that removes `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools` (if
necessary) when repackaging the application.
Closes gh-3171
Gradle 2.0, and only 2.0, requires a Plugin implementation to be
public. The changes made in gh-4113 (9c14ed3) made the class
package-private.
Closes gh-4139
Replace existing Groovy code with Java since the Groovy Eclipse tooling
currently forces the use of an old jdt plugin which has formatter bugs.
Fixes gh-4113
8673250 updated the plugin so that the application plugin is no longer
applied by default. This exposed three problems:
1. bootRepackage may run before findMainClass has run, leaving it with
an unknown main class.
2. findMainClass may run before the classes have been built, making it
unable to find the main class by examining the class files
3. The project's mainClassName property was still being used as a
convention for the bootRun task's main property. If the application
plugin has not be applied, then this property does not exist.
The first problem has been addressed by configuring bootRepackage to
depend on findMainClass.
The second problem has been addressed by configuring the main source
set's output as an input of findMainClass, and configuring findMainClass
to depend on the tasks that build the output.
The third problem has been addressed by only using the mainClassName
property if it exists and its value is not null. We then fallback to
using the mainClassName property on the project's extra properties in
the same way.

Previously, the Spring Boot Gradle plugin would always apply the
application plugin to a project. It then piggy-backed on the application
plugin’s mainClassName and applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties for the
configuration of the bootRun task.
This commit updates the Spring Boot Gradle plugin so that it no longer
applies the application plugin. If the user applies the application
plugin then its configuration will be used, but it’s a no longer
requirement.
Users who do not need the application plugin, but who were using the
mainClassName or applicationDefaultJvmArgs properties will need to
change their builds as a result of this change as those properties will
no longer exist. As before, the mainClassName can be configured on the
springBoot extension:
springBoot {
mainClassName 'com.example.YourApplication'
}
The applicationDefaultJvmArgs property can be used, but it must now be
declared with the project's ext block. For example:
ext {
applicationDefaultJvmArgs = [ '-Dcom.example.property=true' ]
}
Closes gh-2679
Update the Maven and Gradle repackage tasks so that the embedded
startup script is no longer included by default. This change is
primarily due to the `cf` command line not currently accepting
the unusual jar format.
Fixes gh-3045
Previously, the CLI’s dependency management used proprietary Properties
file-based metadata to configure its dependency management. Since
spring-boot-gradle-plugin’s move to using the separate dependency
management plugin the CLI was the only user of this format.
This commit updates the CLI to use Maven boms to configure its
dependency management. By default it uses the spring-boot-dependencies
bom. This configuration can be augmented and overridden using the new
@DependencyManagementBom annotation which replaces @GrabMetadata.

This reverts commit b1c0a7cda4.
The plugin publishing process has moved to a new plugin-based approach
that brings with it some significant limitations:
- There's no staging to allow the promotion of good release builds
- There's no easy way to upload an existing artifact
- There's no control over the published pom.
The risk brought by these limitations, particularly the first, are
too great so we will no be publishing the Boot plugin to the Portal
until they're resolved.
Changing the plugin's ID was a breaking change that would require
users to do some work when they upgrade to Boot 1.3. The ID of the
plugin was changed purely so that it met the Portal's requirements.
Given that the plugin will not be published to the Portal for the
foreseaable future there's no need for us to inflict a breaking change
on people when there will be no benefit.

Update the Maven and Gradle plugin to generate fully executable jar
files on Unix like machines. A launcher bash script is added to the
front of the jar file which handles execution.
The default execution script will either launch the application or
handle init.d service operations (start/stop/restart) depending on if
the application is executed directly, or via a symlink to init.d.
