I'm sure someone can do a better job of this, but here's a proposal
that works. It uses our FindMainTask to set the relevant properties
if theu are missing in the application plugin.

Simplify the exclusion logic used in Gradle by implementing implicit
exclusions rather than trying to detect transitive excludes.

This commit reverts much of the code originally included to fix gh-1047
which adds far too much complexity to the build and still doesn't solve
the underlying issue.

Fixes gh-1103

Fixes gh-1099

This reverts commit e6e89077
which has an incorrect commit message.

The test is a bit crap at the minute (no assertion), but the build
is successful and you can see from the log that the correct main
is used

Spring Plugin is required when using @EnableHypermediaSupport

The Actuator endpoints ought to take precedence over others (since
they are important and users can isolate them using management.contextPath
if necessary). This change puts the @Order at -100 (well before the default
order of the RequestMappingHandlerMapping at 0).

Catch exceptions thrown from SpringBootCondition and re-throw with

Update `spring-boot-loader` ZIP processing code to support prefixed
bytes within the fat jar. This technique allows a bash script to be
embedded at the start of the JAR whilst still allowing `java -jar`
execution.

To ensure an MBeanServer is available when needed you have to
look in JNDI before resorting to the JDK platform factory.

I had to copy some private code from Spring, but it seems
worth it.

The lists are comma separated. In addition, user can add prefixes
"+" or "-", to signal that those values should be removed from the
default list, not added to a fresh one. E.g.

$ spring jar app.jar --include lib/*.jar,-static/** --exclude -**/*.jar

to include a jar file specifically, and make sure it is not excluded,
and additionally not include the static/** resources that would otherwise
be included in the defaults. As soon as "+" or "-" prefixes are detected
the default entries are all added (except the ones exlcuded with "-").

There was a problem with the Gradle plugin packaging application
dependencies in WEB-INF/lib-provided when only the servlet container
and its dependencies should be packaged there. See #1064 for details.

This commit adds two tests, one for Tomcat and one for Jetty, to
verify that only the expected entries appear in WEB-INF/lib-provided.

Closes #1071

If the Hibernate autoconfig is not used to create an EntityManager
then I suppose it's possible that the JpaProperties might be null
when everything else is ready for the event to be published.

There's no test case because I think it's a corner case.

Previously, the versionManagement configuration was resolved as part of
the Boot Gradle plugin being applied. This meant that no dependencies
could be added to it and attempting to do so would result in a failure:
“You can't change a configuration which is not in unresolved state”.
This commit updates ApplyExcludeRules to wrap its processing in a
before resolve action. This defers the resolution of the
versionManagement configuration until one of the project’s other
configurations is being resolved. Fixes #1077

In addition to the above, the transitive exclusions that the Gradle
plugin provides were being lost if custom version management provided
a version for the same dependency. This commit updates
AbstractDependencies to preserve the exclusions from an existing
dependency declaration while using the version from the newer
dependency. This ensures that the exclusions remain while allowing
versions to be overridden. Fixes #1079

Remove superfluous dependencies from spring-boot-starter-tomcat and
spring-boot-starter-jetty which caused gradle based builds to put
too many libraries in `/lib-provided` when building a war.
