spring-boot gradle plugin can't be found

Question

I have a separate gradle script that is just adding spring-boot plugin. It looks like this:

buildscript {     repositories {         mavenLocal()         mavenCentral()         maven { url 'http://repo.spring.io/libs-release' }     }     dependencies {         classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.1.8.RELEASE'     } }  apply plugin: 'spring-boot' 

Then, in another project, it is referenced like this:

apply from: '../../food-orders-online-main/spring-boot.gradle' 

When I run build task I'm getting the following error:

A problem occurred evaluating script. > Failed to apply plugin [id 'spring-boot'] > Plugin with id 'spring-boot' not found. 

Someone knows what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Applying a plugin by plugin id is not supported in script plugins. You must use the plugin's fully qualified class name.

apply plugin: org.springframework.boot.gradle.plugin.SpringBootPlugin 

See this thread for more information.

UPDATE: Updating plugin class name.

Answer 2

These are the Plugins that I am using on spring boot 2.0.1

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

My complete vanilla gradle file here (Spring boot 2.0.5)

buildscript {     ext {         springBootVersion = '2.0.5.RELEASE'     }     repositories {         mavenCentral()     }     dependencies {         classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}")     } }  apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot' apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'  group = 'com.example' version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT' sourceCompatibility = 1.8  repositories {     mavenCentral() }   dependencies {     compile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter')     testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') } 

OR

there is an even better option, go to the spring starter (spring boot template generating tool) start.spring.io And generate a template project from there, and build step-by-step from there.
