Unable to download/import package org.springframework.cloud.config.server.EnableConfigServer

Question

I'm new to spring-cloud concepts and had followed each and every step of spring cloud document provided by spring.io

https://spring.io/guides/gs/centralized-configuration/

weird thing is when I do clt+space on spring-cloud- in my STS, I don't see any option to add spring-cloud-starter-config dependency in pom.xml file, as a result I couldn't able to import the package org.springframework.cloud.config.server.EnableConfigServer in my class file. I'm not understanding what would be the reason and why is it happening so.

Here are my configuration details:

STS : 3.9.0

Maven : 3.5.0

Java : 8

Edit 1: Adding pom.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 4.0.0

It would be very much helpful If someone answers my question.

Answer 1

You need to import the bom

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>Camden.SR7</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
