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

1. Add:

   buildscript {
       repositories {
           maven {
               url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
           }
       }
       dependencies {
           classpath "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:2.0.4.RELEASE"
       }}
   

2. Change:

   apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
   

   to:

   apply plugin: "org.springframework.boot"
