Document bootRun task generation

[vlsi]

Currently, the documentation does not mention the cases when id("org.springframework.boot") Gradle plugin adds bootRun task.

Previously, the task was added by default, and now it is added only in case user adds id("application") plugin.
The documentation does not mention it, and it causes weird issues like

• Gradle plugin 1.7.0 fails with latest Spring Boot 3.1.2, Gradle Kotlin 8.3 with "Task with name 'bootRun' not found in root project" springdoc/springdoc-openapi-gradle-plugin#121

I suggest documenting the need for id("application") for bootRun task.
An alternative option could be applying application plugin as a part of org.springframework.boot, however, I am not sure which option is better.

That's not correct. The bootRun is there, regardless of the application plugin. Create a new project on start.spring.io, and run ./gradlew bootRun. There's no application plugin, but the bootRun still works.

The trigger for the task is the application of the java plugin. This is documented here.

Thanks for the clarification
