Spring Boot application does not start in CloudFoundry

I have a Spring boot Application, built with maven, jdk1.8. It's using embedded Tomcat and jar packaging. I'm using Spring Tool Suite to push the app to CloudFoundry. I get the following messages in console after pushing:

[CONTAINER] org.apache.jasper.servlet.TldScanner               INFO  At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time. 
[CONTAINER] org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig             INFO  Deployment of web application directory /home/vcap/app/.java-buildpack/tomcat/webapps/ROOT has finished in 724 ms
[CONTAINER] org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol         INFO  Starting ProtocolHandler ["http-nio-8080"]
[CONTAINER] org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioSelectorPool         INFO  Using a shared selector for servlet write/read
[CONTAINER] org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina               INFO  Server startup in 814 ms
healthcheck passed
Container became healthy
Exit status 0
[Application Running Check] - Application appears to be running - MY-APP

Problem is - no Spring Boot banner, no startup messages from my application - nothing. If i browse the URL, i just get a 404(which means somehow Tomcat is running!).

I tried

cf files

but realised this is on Diego, so I tried

cf ssh MY-APP

and looked in the logs directory - nothing there at all, not a single file. and

cf-events

just says that app has started.

The GUI console in CloudFoundry happily reports that its 'Running' How do i even begin to troubleshoot this?

After ploughing away at this for half a day, i found the problem.For the impatient, it was due to this issue [spring boot and java buildpack][1]https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/4897

I wasn't getting anything from the STS push, so i reverted to CLI. First, mvn clean package then cf push -p PATH-to-Jar There was an entire trail of error messages (finally! something to look at!), ending with

2016-05-14T21:22:46.71+0800 [API/0]      OUT App instance exited with guid 83ec77d4-bcc5-4b12-8430-dd0a4d140b22 payload: {"instance"=>"27dc9686-1853-4 465-745e-55e450ee94c4", "index"=>0, "reason"=>"CRASHED", 
"exit_description"=>"2 error(s) occurred:\n\n* 2 error(s) occurred:\n\n* 
Exited with status 1
\n* cancelled\n* cancelled", "crash_count"=>3, "crash_timestamp"=>1463232166690142658, "version"=>"b37907a9-f4d6-4045-987c-f7bddb5e7a5c"}

The link above explains the issue and how to resolve it (use the latest java-buildpack (specify with -b switch of cf cli), so if anyone sees this Exception when pushing a spring boot app to cloud foundry, you know what could be the potential issue!

ERR Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot instantiate 
interface org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextInitializer :org.cloudfoundry.reconfiguration.spring.CloudPropertySourceApplicationContextInitializer
