springloaded isn't required in any of the samples, yet some of them
make use of it without being a springloaded-specific sample. This
is creating the false impression that springloaded is necessary in
cases where it's not.
Apparently springloaded 1.1.5 was released to Maven Central with a
different groupId than to repo.spring.io. It would have worked in
milestones because the repository was declared.
See gh-648
Use org.springframework.boot instead of ${project.groupId}
groupId in order to make it easier to use spring-boot-samples
modules as a starting point for new projects.
Requires Loaded 1.1.5 (or better).
For Maven you can just add springloaded to the dependencies of the
spring-boot plugin (and also set MAVEN_OPTS=-noverify).
For Gradle add springloaded to the build dependencies (-noverify
can be added by the plugin).
In both cases there is also support for adding an arbitrary java agent
via configuration. Samples are provided in
spring-boot-sample-[simple,web-ui].
The ApplicationPlugin is only added if there is no JavaExec task
already present, and additionally it computes its own man class if
none is provided. So "gradle run" and "gradle bootRun" look
superficially similar, but "bootRun" has extra options, including
the agent and Loaded support.
Fixes gh-251, gh-183
