Converting maven to gradle of Spring Initializr

Question

Spring Initializr is a open source project , which can be downloaded/cloned from github to run our own spring initializr. however the build of the project is maven. I want to convert it to gradle. Can anyone Help ?

I tried it with gradle init and gradle build Gradle init is creating build.gradle and settings.gradle but gradle build is giving error.

Can someone try and post the solution

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Instead of converting that you can generate fresh project from following url:

https://start.spring.io/

Select Gradle Project and download the code.
