19,896 PointsError on Refreshing Gradle
When refreshing Gradle after adding the buildscript block to support the plugin, I get this error- Error: The supplied build action failed with an exception. Here is my build.gradle for reference:
group 'com.teamtreehouse' version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
buildscript{ repositories{ mavenCentral() } dependencies{ classpath 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.2.6.RELEASE' } }
apply plugin: 'java' apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
sourceCompatibility = 1.5
repositories { mavenCentral() }
dependencies { compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web:1.2.6.RELEASE' }

I had the same error and the solution was to use the latest release. Also, there has been a change in the way that the Spring Boot plugin works with Gradle. It's now much simpler to do, so you can use the below Gradle plugin style instead. Please post back if it doesn't work.
plugins {
id 'java'
id 'idea'
id 'eclipse'
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '1.4.3.RELEASE'
}
group 'com.teamtreehouse'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
}

Yes, that's the new simplified syntax, so that shouldn't be causing your issue. Take a look at this post: https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.springframework.boot#new-plugin-mechanism-info-body

5,329 Pointsso plugins must always be before declaration of group and version? Does it just fetch additional data on its own then?

1,389 PointsDavid, using that plugin style works however I notice 'classpath' is left off - is this intentional? I wonder if leaving off classpath is related to my project not seeing the Spring libraries in my import statements.
