Previously, FindMainClassTask would look for a property named main
on any class named run. This was based on the assumption that the
run task would be a JavaExec task (typically provided by the
application plugin). If the run task was not a JavaExec task (more
accurately, if it did not have a main property) this would result in
a build failure due to trying to read a non-existent property.
This commit updates FindMainClassTask to only use the main property
of the run task if the task is a JavaExec task. This guarantees that
the property will exist on the task, and unlike using any property
named main on a task named run, also guarantee that its value will
refer to a Java class with a main method.

When an application is run as an executable archive with nested jars,
the application's own classes need to be able to load classes from
within the nested jars. This means that the application's classes need
to be loaded by the same class loader as is used for the nested jars.
When an application is launched with java -jar the contents of the
jar are on the class path of the app class loader, which is the
parent of the LaunchedURLClassLoader that is used to load classes
from within the nested jars. If the root of the jar includes the
application's classes, they would be loaded by the app class loader
and, therefore, would not be able to load classes from within the
nested jars.
Previously, this problem was resolved by LaunchedURLClassLoader being
created with a copy of all of the app class laoder's URLs and by
using an unconventional delegation model that caused it to skip its
parent (the app class loader) and jump straight to its root class
loader. This ensured that the LaunchedURLClassLoader would load both
the application's own classes and those from within any nested jars.
Unfortunately, this unusual delegation model has proved to be
problematic. We have seen and worked around some problems with Java
Agents (see gh-4911 and gh-863), but there are others (see gh-4868)
that cannot be made to work with the current delegation model.
This commit reworks LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a conventional
delegate model with the app class loader as its parent. With this
change in place, the application's own classes need to be hidden
from the app class loader via some other means. This is now achieved
by packaging application classes in BOOT-INF/classes (and, for
symmetry, nested jars are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib). Both the
JarLauncher and the PropertiesLauncher (which supports the executable
jar layout) have been updated to look for classes and nested jars in
these new locations.

The Maven POM does all the dependency resolutions for the
spring-boot-antlib project. Delegating this task to Ivy, which is
buried deep in the Antrun/Antunit part of the build, makes any kind
of proxy configuration much more complex.
The ivysettings.xml already has the local M2 repository configured,
but because the folder "repository" is missing, the artifacts, already
downloaded by Maven cannot be resolved from this location.
The Spring and Maven Central repositories should be removed from the
ivysettings.xml files in order to force all resolves to be done through
the local M2 repository. The POM of joda-time version 2.8.1 has an
optional dependency to joda-convert 1.2, which lets the Ivy resolve
process fail, because this version of the joda-convert library was
not resolved by any of the Maven POMs. It seems as if Ivy does not
respect the optional scope, defined in the joda-time POM.
Pass proxy settings to the forked process to make the Gradle distribution download work
Create a gradle.properties file for each Gradle integration test and writes the forking
process' proxy settings as systemProp.http(s).Host/Port to the properties file.
This configures the external process with the right proxy settings to let it download
the Gradle distribution via the HTTP proxy server.
Added a hint for Windows users to get the core.autocrlf setting right
When the core.autocrlf setting under Windows is set to false for example
All files are not converted regarding their EOL characters to the
Windows format with CRLF at a line's end. There is a checkstyle
validation that checks that all files have the system's line endings
and in some test-cases the value from the system property "line.ending"
is used to check test output. So without the conversion, those checks
are going to fail, resulting in build errors.

Add an `excludeDevtools` property to both the Maven and Gradle plugin
that removes `org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools` (if
necessary) when repackaging the application.

8673250 updated the plugin so that the application plugin is no longer
applied by default. This exposed three problems:
1. bootRepackage may run before findMainClass has run, leaving it with
an unknown main class.
2. findMainClass may run before the classes have been built, making it
unable to find the main class by examining the class files
3. The project's mainClassName property was still being used as a
convention for the bootRun task's main property. If the application
plugin has not be applied, then this property does not exist.
The first problem has been addressed by configuring bootRepackage to
depend on findMainClass.
The second problem has been addressed by configuring the main source
set's output as an input of findMainClass, and configuring findMainClass
to depend on the tasks that build the output.
The third problem has been addressed by only using the mainClassName
property if it exists and its value is not null. We then fallback to
using the mainClassName property on the project's extra properties in
the same way.

Update WarPackagingTests to ignore any IOExceptions when closing

Previously, the CLI’s dependency management used proprietary Properties
file-based metadata to configure its dependency management. Since
spring-boot-gradle-plugin’s move to using the separate dependency
management plugin the CLI was the only user of this format.
This commit updates the CLI to use Maven boms to configure its
dependency management. By default it uses the spring-boot-dependencies
bom. This configuration can be augmented and overridden using the new
@DependencyManagementBom annotation which replaces @GrabMetadata.

This reverts commit b1c0a7cda4.
The plugin publishing process has moved to a new plugin-based approach
that brings with it some significant limitations:
- There's no staging to allow the promotion of good release builds
- There's no easy way to upload an existing artifact
- There's no control over the published pom.
The risk brought by these limitations, particularly the first, are
too great so we will no be publishing the Boot plugin to the Portal
until they're resolved.
Changing the plugin's ID was a breaking change that would require
users to do some work when they upgrade to Boot 1.3. The ID of the
plugin was changed purely so that it met the Portal's requirements.
Given that the plugin will not be published to the Portal for the
foreseaable future there's no need for us to inflict a breaking change
on people when there will be no benefit.

Gradle’s plugin portal requires each plugin’s ID to be in a namespace.
Our existing ID, spring-boot, does not meet this requirement. This
commit changes the plugin’s ID to org.springframework.boot.spring-boot.
Note that, as is recommended [1], the plugin’s ID does not include
“gradle”.

This commit replaces Spring Boot's basic dependency management support
with separate dependency management plugin. This has a number of
benefits including:
1. A Maven bom can be used rather than a custom properties file
2. Dependency management is applied transitively rather than only to
direct dependencies
3. Exclusions are applied as they would be in Maven
4. Gradle-generated poms are automatically configured with the
appropriate dependency management
