Unable to publish to local maven repo when using Gradle and Spring Boot

Question

I have a very simple spring-boot (1.0.2) example (based on http://spring.io/guides/gs/rest-service/) using Gradle (1.12) to create a jar file.

I\'m trying to build

Answer 1

When the Spring Boot Gradle Plugin without dependency versions in the dependency{...} section, the pom is generated without version for Spring Boot etc.

So at the moment it's required to create the relation to the parent pom by yourself for all maven realted tasks parent { groupId 'org.springframework.boot' artifactId 'spring-boot-starter-parent' version "${project.bootVersion}" }

See https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/1716
