Answer 1

The configuration here is working for me:

configurations {
    customProvidedRuntime
}

dependencies {
    compile(
        // Spring Boot dependencies
    )

    customProvidedRuntime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat')
}

war {
    classpath = files(configurations.runtime.minus(configurations.customProvidedRuntime))
}

springBoot {
    providedConfiguration = "customProvidedRuntime"
}
