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()
        mavenCe         


        

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.
