EnableEurekaServer import doesn't exist

Question

I build a Spring-Service with gradle and I wanted to use a Eureka-Server with it. My java-file looks like this:

import org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server.EnableEurekaServer;

@EnableEurekaServer
public class Welcome {
   ....
}

but when I try to build it with my gradle-file it says:

org.springframework.cloud.netflix.eureka.server does not exist

I searched for a solution for this problem but I seem to be alone with it. Does someone know why it is not working? Do I have to write something specific into the build.gradle-file?

Answer 1

The following dependency worked for me:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Assuming you use a bill of materials to manage Spring Cloud dependencies:

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>${spring-cloud.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Just add the following depedency to your project:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

Spring Cloud releases have names instead of numbers. And you must ensure that Spring Cloud version is compatible with the Spring Boot version you are using. See more details here.
