swagger and spring boot integration throws ScannerException

Question

I integrated a Jax-Rs Jersey (1.16) Restful service application with swagger. Application uses spring boot to launch. I see below exception when I run the application using java -jar my-service-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and access the http://localhost:8080/index.html to list the JaxRs resources.

I build the fat jar using gradle build including spring-boot-gradle-plugin. I could see that swagger-jersey-jaxrs_2.10-1.3.4.jar was bundled with the fat jar. What am I missing?
I can the run the application fine by other means i.e gradle distZip and extracting the zip content into a directory and run the application run script files created by gradle. But I would really like to run it using java -jar to avoid extracting zip contents step.

[EDIT] Is this a caveat mentioned in http://www.opencredo.com/2014/02/24/experiences-with-spring-boot/ under Caveats section?

This is a documented Jersey bug, see here.
