Gradle Project build failed - web-services

Question

I am trying to build a RESTful WebService project with gradle tool. But build is failing. The console is giving following output.
C:\Users\bob\Downloads\gs-rest-service-master\gs-rest-service-master\complete>gradle build
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'complete'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.0.0.RC4.
Required by:
:complete:unspecified
> Could not GET 'http://repo.spring.io/libs-snapshot/org/springframework/boot/spring- boot-gradle-plugin/1.0.0.RC4/spring-boot-gradle-plugin-1.0.0.RC4.pom'.
> Connection to http://repo.spring.io refused
> java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
And when I give the command
gradle build --stacktrace
Getting the following stacktrace:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.ivyservice.ModuleVersionResolveException: Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.0.0.RC4.

}
Please help me why the build is failing?? Is that anything to do with Proxy settings?

Answer 1

Ok, for me it works perfectly fine. If You have any proxy this is (was) a known issue. Have a look at setting up gradle's build environment.
