Is spring-boot Maven or Gradle required?

My questions are: Can a spring-boot application be built without Maven or Gradle support, keeping the required jar files in the classpath?

It is theoretically possible, but manually collecting the correct versions of the required JAR files seems impractical. Actually one of the goals of Spring Boot is to maintain a list of spring-boot-starters, so you can just use them in your build config file (like pom.xml) and the correct version will pull all the dependency JARs into your classpath ...

Yes, if you have your own build system, you can for sure collect all the jars and turn them on. Maven and Gradle make it easy to get all these jars and include tools to create an executable jar file.
