Role Name

=========

This role sets up a Spring Boot application.

Requirements

The Spring Boot application needs to be created using the Spring Boot Gradle plugin with the executable option set to true. This allows the build to generate an executable JAR to run as a service.

Example of build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.3.5.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
    testCompile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")
}

springBoot {
    executable = true
}
