Description

The quickstat project has some errors on run:

• Running the quickstart as in comment https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2579?focusedCommentId=16770261#comment-16770261 ends with BUILD FAILURE.
• After fixing BUILD FAILURE error "./gradlew tasks" fails with "Plugin with id 'gretty' not found." message.
• Running "mvn jetty:run" fails with "Could not find artifact javax.servlet:servlet-api:jar:3.0.1 in jboss (http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/)" message.

Some other related issues open are:

• https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAP5-2579
• https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/pull/9/files
• https://github.com/apache/tapestry-5/pull/10 (for 5.4.x)

Some other improvements that can be implemented are:

• Use Spring Boot instead Gretty.
• Use log4j 2 instead slf4j and logback.
• Provide some simple unit and functional test examples.
• Use more new Gradle version (ideally latest) instead of taking Tapestry Gradle build version.

Fix the errors and related issues, implement improvements.
