When running in a Spring Boot application as follows:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.camunda.bpm.extension</groupId>
    <artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.camunda.bpm.extension</groupId>
    <artifactId>camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter-webapp</artifactId>
</dependency>

Currently: no.

It’s like the webapp on central: if you want custom plugins, you have to build it yourself.

We have an open issue https://github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-spring-boot-starter/issues/155 that hopefully will make it to the 2.0 release that will simplify enhancing the webapp/webjar with plugins …

You can use Bernds webjar-ee post as a base https://github.com/camunda/camunda-consulting/tree/master/snippets/camunda-webapp-webjar-ee and try to add plugin dependencies to the pom. If you do so, please share your experiences on the github issue, it will help to publish a centralized solution.
