This commit removes the reactor extension as it is no longer necessary
given all the customizations have been added in Spring Boot now.
Instead, Java8 is now forced for any use of Spring Boot 2.0 and later.
Arguably, this should have been the case since the beginning.
start.spring.io exposes an annotation processor (Lombok) that's quite
popular but is exposed as a compile/transitive dependency. This commit
introduces a `compileOnly` scope that maps to Gradle's `compileOnly`
scope and Maven's `optional` flag.
There is a case to support optional dependencies in general but
unfortunately, Gradle doesn't have support for such feature.
Closes gh-128
This commit improves massively class loading performance by caching all
templates used by the generator. GroovyTemplate is now a bean rather than
a private utility.
Templates are cached by default and the cache is disabled automatically
if Devtools is in use (via a check of spring.groovy.template.cache).
Closes gh-288
This commit adds support for the experimental reactive starter. When
that starter is selected, the version of Spring Framework and Reactor are
automatically overridden and the java version is forced to 1.8
This starter includes an additional BOM that provides dependency
management for reactive-related dependencies (typically netty).
This commit upgrades to Spring Boot 1.4.0.RELEASE and bumps to Java8. It
also migrate the cache library from Guava to Caffeeine.
The git and build information are now exposed via the `info` endpoint.
Closes gh-251
This commit makes sure that the generated initializr-service app does
not contain a version number. That way, it is easier to reuse the same
command to push the app, regardless of the current version.
