IntelliJ ultimate edition- spring boot plug-in missing - spring

I have IntelliJ ultimate edition. I don’t see spring boot plug-in . When I search for spring boot I see spring boot assistant. Is Spring boot assistant plug-in same as spring boot plug-in?

The Spring Boot plugin:
Integrates the wizard found at https://start.spring.io/ (to generate Spring projects) into the IDE.
Spring Boot Assistant:
Adds auto-completion support for Spring Boot configuration files (application.yml, etc.).

Why there is no application.properties in my Spring Boot apllication?

I made a package using Spring Boot Initalizer website with the following:
Kotlin
Gradle Kotlin
3.0.2
But I don't have the application properties file in my project. Where can I set the required properties ? Also, there is any documentation available with all of them ?
I tried searching on Google. But mostly are older versions of Spring Boot so that is not relevant
I tried searching on official website but nothing describes what I search.
Generated the spring boot app with same configuration using Spring Initializr.
The 'application.properties' file is present in src > main > resources folder.

Spring boot application as dependency in another gradle project

How can i add a spring boot built using gradle as a dependecy to another spring boot application ?

Do we really need to add spring boot starter web for spring boot admin clients?

Version 1.5.4 was working fine without extra declaration of starter web in POM of Spring Boot Admin Clients. When I upgraded to 2.0.1, I had to add starter web to POM to make it work. Without starter web in client apps, there is no error or no log related to registering the application.
It's not documented anywhere as far as I know. Can anyone please confirm?
Spring Boot Admin 2.x can run on netty and on tomcat. So if you want to run on tomcat you have to explicitly import the spring-boot-starter-web.
The getting started guide contains this dependency http://codecentric.github.io/spring-boot-admin/current/#set-up-admin-server

Customizing Spring Boot project structure

I am a bit intrigued by Spring boot project structure.
When I create a spring boot project using Eclipse (with Spring tools plugin) and spring initializr (in eclipse Spring->Spring Starter Project), there is no folder src/main/webapp/WEB-INF created. Now is that (src/main/webapp/WEB-INF) to be created manually? If not how to create that directory using spring Spring Starter Project ? If Spring Starter Project is not answer how to create it using some kind of wizard. I am using eclipse with "spring tools" plugin (sts+spring-ide)
I have searched in the web and I am yet to find my answer. Please guide.
In short I am looking for answers to what (and how) are the customization options for project structure in a spring boot project.

Liquibase Not Updating Spring Boot Web Application

I recently deployed a spring boot 1.4.0 web application and I noticed that liquibase did not perform an update. I have no problem with my spring boot 1.3.2 web application.
Was something introduced to Spring Boot 1.4.0 that would cause liquibase to not execute?
Tracked down the issue to liquibase-core package was not included in order to the Spring Boot autoconfigurations to execute.
It's not entirely clear why the liquibase-gradle-plugin did not include the required package.
