Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-velocity

Question

I'm new to spring and trying to use velocity with spring boot.

Here is my build.gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

plugins {
   id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.0.4.RELEASE'
}

apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse-wtp'
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot'
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
apply plugin: 'war'

dependencies {
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web')
    compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-velocity')
    runtime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools')
    providedRuntime('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat')
    testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test')
}

When I sync by ./gradlew bootRun, it returned error as below.

> Task :compileJava FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':compileClasspath'.
> Could not find org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-velocity:.

Answer 1

Most probably you forgot to include Spring's dependency management plugin.

apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'

Also make sure that you have specified the Spring Boot version to use:

plugins { id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.0.4.RELEASE' }

See https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/2.0.4.RELEASE/gradle-plugin/reference/html/ for more information
