Previously, the custom layout sample did not configure the source
and target for the compiler. This meant that both defaulted to 1.5
which is not supported by Java 9's javac. The oldest support version
is 1.6.
This commit sets the maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target
properties to 1.8 (the lowest version support by Boot 2.0) allowing
the sample to build with both Java 8 and Java 9.
See gh-10515
Previously, the custom layout sample could only be built successfully
if spring-boot-dependencies had be installed locally, making its
effective pom available in the local Maven cache.
This commit updates the sample's tests to look at its own pom to
determine the version of Spring Boot that should be used in the
Gradle tests.
