аюсь написать очень простое Groovy & Spring веб-приложение, использующее Gradle для работы с зависимостями.

Дело в том, что я не могу запустить приложение и вообще не могу понять, почему.

Вот мой основной метод в ReleaseApp.groovy

package com.ullink.release.config

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication

@SpringBootApplication(scanBasePackages = "com.ullink.release.*") 
class ReleaseApp {

static void main(String[] args) {

    SpringApplication.run(ReleaseApp.class, args)

    }
}

файл build.gradle

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath(group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-gradle-plugin', version: '1.5.2.RELEASE')
        classpath([group: 'com.ullink.gradle', name: 'gradle-ullink-plugin', version: '1.31'])
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java-ullink'
apply plugin: 'groovy'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'sonar-runner-ullink'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'war'


sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web") {
        exclude module: "spring-boot-starter-logging"
        exclude module: "logback-classic"
    }

    providedCompile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-catalina:7.0.47'

    compile(
            [group: 'com.atlassian.jira', name: 'jira-rest-java-client-core', version: '4.0.0'],
            [group: 'com.atlassian.fugue', name: 'fugue', version: '2.2.1'],
            [group: 'org.objenesis', name: 'objenesis', version: '2.2'],
            gradleApi(),
    )

    testCompile(
            [group: 'org.spockframework', name: 'spock-core', version: '1.0-groovy-2.4', exclude: [
                    module: 'groovy-all'
            ]],
            [group: 'cglib', name: 'cglib-nodep', version: '3.2.1'],
    )
}

Я подозреваю, что проблема связана исключительно с файлом build.grade, но я не могу понять, отсутствует ли какая-то зависимость или что-то не так.

Любая помощь приветствуется!
