Can't get past error message about maven repository..."Add Service URL"

I am trying to work through the Spring Basics tutorial. I know Chris R isn't affiliated with Treehouse anymore but I am hoping someone else can step in.

Apparently there is a problem with the Maven Repository URL. Intellj asks me if I want to add it but also asks me a question about a URL that I can't interpret. I need to provide a"Artifactory or Nexus Service URL." I have no idea what that is. He does not, to my recollection, mention this.

I have a screenshot of this error but no way to post it here...hoping someone understands enough about what this is to respond. I actually need this for a class in Java that just started this week. I need to learn to use Spring.

You can share a link to screenshot that you uploaded.

Just go to Google Drive, Dropbox, Imgur I think, in worst case Facebook or Twitter.

Then upload picture there, and share a link here.

I'd also recommend watch workshop Introduction to Gradle.

If you are first time seeing Gradle in action.

I think that most of the messages that you see can be ignored, but I need to see screenshot first.

Chris does not see anything, because his version of Intellijdea is older.

I've worked with Gradle in Android. But I am not sure that familiarity will transfer.

Here is a link to Google Drive:

Don't worry about this 'Unindexed maven repositories found' message.

There a lot of people suggesting different solutions, like

You can try here and there, or simply ignore it, like Craig does in one of the videos here I don't remember.

I did my 12 Techdegree projects and this 'Unindexed' warning did not cause me any trouble at all.

So I'd say try to say Cancel to everything. It should let you build and work anyway ...

Here is the video in which Craig has the same 'Unindexed' message, and simply ignores it.

Watch on the 03:09. Take a look at the very bottom he has the same warning.

So just 'Cancel' to all, and ignore in future.
