Uplift to 4.4.2 from 4.3.1 fails for Spring Boot Application

[miPlodder]

On doing a gradlew clean build --stacktrace after uplifting to latest version 4.4.2, I'm getting this logs.. Do we need any other changes apart from just updating the version

Also, I don't see any README updated for long time.
