hide projects without a main class from boot dashboard automatically

[martinlippert]

Expected Behavior

The boot dashboard should hide projects that don't have a main class automatically. It doesn't really make a lot of sense to show a project in the boot dashboard that you can't run.

Current Behavior

All projects with Spring Boot on their classpath are shown and there is no filter in place to hide projects that don't have a main class.

Solution

We should add a filter that is activated by default to hide projects that don't have a main class. We need to take care to avoid any expensive analysis here. So it might be a challenge to actually find out whether a project has a main class or not, so we should be careful with regards to performance and UI-blocking behavior when implementing this.

Great, looking forward to this improvement.

@BoykoAlex already implemented this additional filter for the boot dashboard for the next release, so closing this item already.
