Description
Gradle allows one dependency to be substituted for another via a dependency substitution. This could be useful for things like replacing a javax API jar with its Jarkara equivalent or replacing Commons Logging with spring-jcl. We might be able to provide some of the substitutions by default when Spring Boot's Gradle plugin is applied. We could also offer a way to turn them off via a small addition to the plugin's DSL.

Research direction
Start by reading the Spring Boot Gradle plugin and Gradle's dependency substitution documentation. Determine which default substitutions should be supported and how the plugin DSL would disable them; done means the agreed substitutions apply when the plugin is used and the opt-out behavior is covered.
