You can open this sample in an IDE that supports Gradle.

This sample shows how a Spring Boot Web application can be built with Gradle. The application was generated using the Spring Initializr.

app/build.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("org.springframework.boot") version("3.4.3")
    id("java")
}

version = "1.0.2"
group = "org.gradle.samples"

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(17))
    }
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(platform("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:3.4.3"))

    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter")

    testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")

    testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher")
}

tasks.named<Test>("test") {
    useJUnitPlatform()
}
app/build.gradle
plugins {
	id("org.springframework.boot") version("3.4.3")
	id("java")
}

version = '1.0.2'
group = 'org.gradle.samples'

java {
    toolchain {
        languageVersion.set(JavaLanguageVersion.of(17))
    }
}

repositories {
	mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation(platform("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-dependencies:3.4.3"))

	implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter")

	testImplementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test")

    testRuntimeOnly("org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher")
}

tasks.named('test', Test) {
	useJUnitPlatform()
}

To build and run the application:

$ ./gradlew bootRun

> Task :app:bootRun
