For a non spring boot application, gretty is complaining for spring boot dependency

I have upgraded the gretty version 1.1.2 to 3.0.6. since then its failing at
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException: Could not generate a proxy class for class org.akhikhl.gretty.AppBeforeIntegrationTestTask.

Indeed we do have this following setting
void excludeUnneededGrettyDependencies() {
// we do not need hot appl redeploy and this allows us to
// get rid of unwanted spring boot 3rd party dependencies
project.gretty {
springBoot = false
}

Because of which earlier version 1.1.2 version didn't complains for spring boot dependency.
Can you please confirm why this is complaining now? Or any specific version i can use to get rid of this error?
