Spring bootRun not available from within Eclipse gradle - spring

Question

I am just starting out with Spring and have successfully setup and am running the RESTful tutorial using gradle buildship within Eclipse.
https://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/#initial
However, one thing I cannot get working within Eclipse is it says you can run the application from gradle rather than the jar directly by the command:
gradle bootRun
but bootRun is not a task created by the gradle script, only 'run' (which does not work). All the other entries, like 'build', etc. are there.
It's not a big deal as I can run the jar from the command line but I'd like to run it from within Eclipse (I do not have gradle installed either, just buildship).
thanks.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.3.RELEASE")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
jar {
baseName = 'gs-rest-service'
version = '0.1.0'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

You don't need 'gradle bootRun'
Just run that as a main method:
#SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
}
}
