I know of at least one Spring Boot user who uses it. The issue is that the Spring Boot plugin (for some reason?) disables the jar task when you apply it. My plugin requires the jar task to execute so it can extract information from it. The workaround is to manually enable your jar task. I can't provide a more hands-off solution without first understanding why Spring Boot does this. (And since I'm not a Spring Boot user, I need people like you to tell me :) )

The latest version of the plugin, 0.53.0, provides support for Spring Boot. The plugin no longer relies on the jar task (just the .class files), so there's no longer any issue.
