Update Gradle project libraries

I have added web dependency by editing build.gradle file and adding line below in my Spring Eclipse Java project.
dependencies {
...
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
...
}
But project complains The import org.springframework.web cannot be resolved. How to tell Spring Tool Suite 4 project update this library?
UPD
My whole build.gradle :
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.3.4.RELEASE'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.10.RELEASE'
id 'java'
id 'war'
}
group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '15'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
providedRuntime 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
testImplementation('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') {
exclude group: 'org.junit.vintage', module: 'junit-vintage-engine'
}
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
UPD 2
I have another project that was generated with web module from very beginning. I looked in project properties in both of them and found that current project don't have Web App Libraries :
Current project:
Should I ask gradle somehow update Spring Tool Suite project with required library?

did you also add
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
To your gradle build? The maven import needs to resolved from somewhere, maven central is a good place.
According to Spring you also need to use the spring plugin
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.3.3.RELEASE'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.8.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
At the top of your build gradle

Please tell what I'm doing wrong here!

now here is the problem, you are using different versions in dependencies of gradle
So change this
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.0'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.2.1'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
to this
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.3.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:10.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
one more thing is that now com.firebae:firebase-client-android is deprecated so you need to replace it with com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1 and here is the documentation for that https://firebase.google.com/support/guides/firebase-android

I have faced similar problem while implementing native ad and killed almost 4 hours...
At last i have figured out that there are different com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads version in different module('17.1.1' and '12.0.0').
After changing all version to 17.1.1 it solved my problem.

If you are seeking solution for react-native project, make sure there is same version used among different modules and replace "+" with some latest available version.

Most of the time the problem is in the gradle. I had a similar problem until I changed firebase-(storage/auth/database) build gradle for module app to be the same for e.g.
( com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:16.1.0,com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.1.0, com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.1.0)

spring boot gradle app on ubuntu: unable to access jarfile

I have an existing Spring app that I want to convert to a Spring Boot app. So I have added th Application.java file in my java source directory and execute my gradlwe script as usual. However, when I run the build command, a get an error saying 'unable to access jarfile' - although I specify the jarfile name in my build script and on my command line.

Unable to use the apache.poi library after adding gradle dependency

I've been trying to use the apache.poi library to create an excel file but, for some reason, I'm unable to import anything.
mainClassName = 'Main'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.0'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.22.0'
compile 'com.google.oauth-client:google-oauth-client-jetty:1.22.0'
compile 'com.google.apis:google-api-services-sheets:v4-rev21-1.22.0'
compile 'org.apache.poi:poi:3.9'
}
When I am trying to write import org.apache.poi; it gives me an error saying "Package does not exist".
What is wrong with my dependencies? Thanks.

Some times it is useful to reload a gradle project so gradle could download the binary of the new dependency. After that the new packages should be available.

Found the same error while including gradle in the build.gradle file.
Use:
compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi', version: '3.9'
Like: dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi', version: '3.9'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "fl.gauravsngarg.com.inventory"
minSdkVersion 23
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi', version: '3.9'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
}

After research I found the actual version.
Use
// https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi
compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi', version: '3.9'
Its given here
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi/3.9
The site contains all the official dependencies for gradle, maven, etc.

It worked for me:
It is quite possible that you have enabled gradle sync in offline mode.
Just change that.
Works like a charm

I had the same issue!
For me File > Invalidate Chaches / Restart > Invalidate and Restart worked.
I am using this version: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.poi/poi/4.1.2

Worked for me:
compile group: 'org.apache.poi', name: 'poi-ooxml', version: '4.0.0'

I've looked through loads of similar questions on stackoverflow but didn't find the working solution.
Below's the screenshot of my project stucture and the build.gradle file of the library project (in libs folder), here's the link for the screenshot:
And here's my root build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}
}
And here's the build.grandle from the app folder:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 21
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.discounty.discounty"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 21
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'
compile 'cn.pedant.sweetalert:library:1.3'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:21.0.0'
compile 'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.6.0'
compile 'com.yalantis:contextmenu:1.0.0'
compile('de.keyboardsurfer.android.widget:crouton:1.8.4#aar') {
exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4'
}
compile project('libs:swipe_menu_list_view')
}
I tried cleaning the project, but it didn't help.
The new library that I've added (swipe_menu_list_view) contains the support-v4 dependency and I don't use support-v4 anywhere else in my project (or at least I think so), but I've read that this error might happen because different versions of the same library are used in one project.
Could you please help me with solving that problem?

It happens when you are using 2 different versions of the same library.
You can render the dependency tree with the command gradle dependencies
In your case:
'com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.6.0' uses
<dependency>
<groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
<artifactId>support-annotations</artifactId>
<version>19.1.0</version>
</dependency>
while you appcompat 21.0.3 uses
<dependency>
<groupId>com.android.support</groupId>
<artifactId>support-annotations</artifactId>
<version>21.0.3</version>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
You can check if there is a updated version that uses the same 21.0.3 or you can exclude the dependency with:
compile('com.getbase:floatingactionbutton:1.6.0') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}
