I have a very simple spring-boot (1.0.2) example (based on http://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/) using Gradle (1.12) to create a jar file.

This tells me your artifact (jar or war) is being created but the validation of the accompanying pom is failing. For a valid maven artifact you need groupdId, artifactId and version....
Which translate to gradle group, archivesBaseName and version.
Make sure you have these three properties set or configured on your artifact and you might get some luck :-)
e.g...
archivesBaseName = 'xcxcxcxc'
group = "com.blah.xxffffdd"
version = '#.#.#'
