title: How to pass Debug Flag to Spring Boot via Gradle bootRun to view AutoConfigure information
body: <p>So i'm working on the <a href="https://spring.io/guides/gs/consuming-rest/" rel="noreferrer" title="Consuming Rest Services with Spring Boot tutorial">Consuming Rest Services with Spring Boot Tutorial</a> and trying to figure out how it's wiring the AutoConfigure with Jackson and RestTemplate.</p>
  
  <p>I have been told I can  pass the --debug flag to Spring Boot.  This would make Spring Boot emit it's Auto Configuration information.  </p>
  
  <p>Currently I'm running this via the gradle bootRun task that comes with the Spring Boot gradle plugin.  This is being run via an IntelliJ Run Configuration in this image.</p>

  <p>How do I pass a --debug flag so that Spring Boot picks it up.  If I put this in the VM Options, gradle picks it up and starts emitting all of it's information (which I don't want).</p>
