Different behavior between Maven and Gradle

[TimHess]

Hello,

When starting this application with mvn spring-boot:run, it looks for a config server at http://localhost:8888. The result on first run is a failure, with the Eureka server failing to start. Starting via Gradle does not appear to look for a config server at that address and starts without a problem.

I started a spring cloud config server, then started this Eureka server and since then Eureka will start just fine, even if that config server isn't running anymore.

Is it expected for this server to be fully operational without a config server? Should a first-time run of this application require a config server?

Thanks,
Tim
