ClassNotFoundException with Spring WebFlux Security - spring

Question

I'm having the following problem:
I am trying to setup a basic Spring Boot (2.0.0.M2) Project containing Spring Webflux and Spring Security.
My pom.xml looks like this (generated via start.spring.io):
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0.M2</version>
<relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
</parent>
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-webflux</artifactId>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
SpringSecurityConfig:
#EnableWebFluxSecurity
public class SecurityConfig extends WebFluxSecurityConfiguration {}
I am not getting any further because I get an exception on startup:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.security.web.server.context.SecurityContextRepository
So I figure that the whole org.springframework.security.web.server package is not on the classpath, although it should be there, since it is included in the API docs.
Seems like I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Currently Spring Boot's spring-boot-starter-security does not include spring-security-webflux.
Add it as project dependency explicitly.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-webflux</artifactId>
</dependency>
See this issue : Provide auto-configuration for WebFlux-based security.
BTW, check my working codes: https://github.com/hantsy/spring-reactive-sample/tree/master/boot
Updated: In Spring Boot 2.0.0.RELEASE, spring-boot-starter-security includes webflux support.
