Applied in isolation the plugin makes few changes to a project.
Instead, the plugin detects when certain other plugins are applied and reacts accordingly.
For example, when the `java` plugin is applied a task for building an executable jar is automatically configured.
A typical Spring Boot project will apply the {groovy-plugin}[`groovy`], {java-plugin}java_plugin.html[`java`], or {kotlin-plugin}[`org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm`] plugin and the {dependency-management-plugin}[`io.spring.dependency-management`] plugin as a minimum.
