SpringBoot: unable to create fully executable jar with 2.0.0-M3

Question

I have a project with multiple Gradle modules and I tried to upgrade to 2.0.0-M3. Following the instructions here , I added this to my build script:

springBoot {
    executable = true
}

But when I create I get the following error:

Could not set unknown property 'executable' for object of type org.springframework.boot.gradle.dsl.SpringBootExtension.

Is it something broken in the milestone or am I doing something wrong?

The configuration for this changed in Spring Boot 2.0. Instead of customizing it on an extension springBoot

, it is now customized for a separate task BootJar

orBootWar

. For example:

bootJar {
    launchScript {
        included = true
    }
}

As with Spring Boot 2.0 M4, this configuration has been simplified even further:

bootJar {
    launchScript()
}

You might want to open the issue to fix the documentation you linked to as it is out of date.
