Creation and Usage of BOM in Gradle
The issue is that the springdoc-openapi BOM brings an old version of the Spring Framework 6.0, which is incompatible with Spring Boot 3.2. There are several ways to solve this problem: update springdoc, change the order of BOM imports, but the best, in my opinion, is to avoid using the io.spring.dependency-management plugin.

Spring Boot – Black Box Testing
The SpringDoc library comes with lots of annotations to tune your REST API specification precisely. Anyway, that's out of context of this article.

What do you think about generating OpenAPI specs from code?
I found SpringDoc, a library that automates the generation of the spec from the source code. It relies on annotations for textual bits (like tags and descriptions), but it also infers stuff from Spring annotations.

Pulling out OpenAPI 3.0 Specifications from SpringBoot
Libraries like Springdoc or Springfox can do this. These libraries generate the OpenAPI documentation based on your controllers (+ you can apply the OpenAPI annotations on your controllers). This documentation is then exposed as a REST API, for Springdoc these can be found at /v3/api-docs.

Eureka Service Registration and Discovery
Retrieving all endpoints of a service isn't the goal of a service registry like Eureka, so no, you can't get all endpoints of a service. You can use a library like Springfox or Springdoc to enable Swagger/OpenAPI for your project. These libraries generate a JSON REST API (and a user interface) to view all your endpoints. You can even provide additional information (eg. default values, descriptions, ...) by adding some additional annotations on your controllers.
