[ashok2ashok]

I had to update my build.gradle to the below to get it to work on Java 9.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.5.7.RELEASE")
    }
}

apply plugin: 'java'
//apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'

jar {
    baseName = 'bt-example'
    version =  '0.1.0'
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7

dependencies {
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.5.7.RELEASE")
    compile("com.braintreepayments.gateway:braintree-java:2.73.0")
    compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf")
//    testCompile group: 'org.springframework.boot', name: 'spring-boot-starter-test', version: '1.5.7.RELEASE'
    testCompile("junit:junit")
    testCompile("io.rest-assured:spring-mock-mvc:3.0.3")
}

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '2.3'
}

task stage (
  dependsOn: ['compileJava', 'processResources', 'classes', 'findMainClass', 'jar', 'bootRepackage', 'assemble']
)

Thanks for the report. We'll see what we can do to support both Java 8 and Java 9 in this repo.

[crookedneighbor]

PRs are welcome, of course!
