Unindex maven repository https://repo.grails.org/grails/core in Intellij with Grails 3.0

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.1 and I am trying to create a Grails 3.0 application and ran into issues.

While trying to create a Grails 3.0 project I get the following.

After doing what it does I also noticed that the Grails Tool Window is on the upper left is gone. When I open the repositories list and click on update I get the following error:

I have seen some other questions that it says to click on 'Disable....' but i do not think so...

1. Will not i need the grails core repo at some poing during development?

2. How come the Grails Tool Window disappeared? How to make it come back?

Answer 1

To resolve this problem i changed (the file is build.gradle) " https://repo.grails.org/grails/core/ " for " http://repo.grails.org/grails/repo/ "

So close and open your project again.

For what it's worth, if you are using gradle for all of your projects, you can remove maven from your development machine entirely. then, add 'apply plugin: "maven" ' to your build.gradle files. then, you can completely ignore your IDE's messages about Unindexed remote maven repositories. gradle will take care of it for you.
