Can not switch to Jetty

Hey! I'm using spring-boot-gradle-plugin with spring boot version 2.0.0.RELEASE.

My dependencies list looks as follows: 

dependencies {
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools'
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf') {
        exclude module: 'spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
    }
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-jetty'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-security'
    compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-websocket'
    compile 'org.webjars:webjars-locator:0.32'
    compile 'org.webjars:jquery:3.3.1'
    compile 'org.webjars:sockjs-client:1.0.2'
    compile 'org.webjars:stomp-websocket:2.3.3'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-core:5.2.13.Final'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-entitymanager:5.2.13.Final'
    compile 'org.hibernate:hibernate-java8:5.2.13.Final'
    compile 'org.apache.tomcat:tomcat-dbcp:8.0.30'
    compile 'net.sourceforge.nekohtml:nekohtml:1.9.21'

    compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok:1.16.20'

    runtime 'com.h2database:h2'
    runtime 'javax.transaction:jta:1.1'
    runtime 'org.aspectj:aspectjweaver:1.8.7'

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    testCompile 'org.hamcrest:hamcrest-all:1.3'
    testCompile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
    testCompile 'org.springframework.security:spring-security-test:5.0.1.RELEASE'
}

But for some reason when I execute bootRun task it states that "Tomcat has started on port..".

Does somebody knows what is the case and how to fix it?

Changed version of spring-boot-plugin to 1.5.9.RELEASE and everything works fine.
