Gradle generates different Uber jar than Maven [SPR-14348]

Hi,

I've been building simple web services using Spring Boot with both the Maven and Gradle plugins and I'm seeing differences between the two. I am working with Spring Boot 1.3.5.RELEASE .

The primary difference is that the gradle plugin does not appear to create a jar in the format from the reference doc: http://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#executable-jar . There is no BOOT-INF folder in the jar created and the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF doesn't have entries for "Spring-Boot-Classes" or "Spring-Boot-Libs" like the the file would if it were generated by the maven plugin.

I'm using gradle version 2.13 and Java jdk 8.

My build.gradle is as follows:

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

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

jar {
baseName = 'test-app'
version = '0.1.0'
}

repositories {
mavenCentral()
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8

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

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.3'
}
