Description
When creating a new Maven project using Spring Initializr, you can select Groovy as the project language:
The project gets created with a Groovy application for the main class:
However the generated application is not recognized correctly as a Spring Boot application in the Spring Boot Dashboard:
And the application does not run:
However, let's generate a Java application instead of a Groovy application:
The Java application shows up in the Spring Boot Dashboard:
And it runs just fine:
Spring Initializr should not support creating a Groovy application if it does not work.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating Maven projects with Groovy and Java through Spring Initializr, then compare Spring Boot Dashboard detection and run behavior. Trace the extension's project-generation and application-detection entry points; done when Groovy projects either work correctly or the unsupported Groovy option is removed.
