Spring Boot Gradle setup - eclipse

Question

I tried to setup gradle in eclipse Luna for a simple spring boot application, but none of the jars are downloaded. Can anyone give me an idea of what I'm missing ?
I ran gradle clean build in the command line and it compiles successfully:
This is the content of my build.gradle file :
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:1.4.1.RELEASE")
}
}
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'eclipse'
apply plugin: 'spring-boot'
jar {
baseName = 'sample'
version = '0.1.0'
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
targetCompatibility = 1.8
dependencies {
compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web")
}
This is the content of the class with the controller:
package sample;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
#RestController
public class SampleController {
#RequestMapping("/sample")
public String sampleIt(){
return "Hello! Welcome to Spring Boot Sample. ";
}
}
This is the class with the main function :
package sample;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
#SpringBootApplication
public class SampleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(SampleApplication.class, args);
System.out.println(ctx.getDisplayName());
System.out.println("This is my first Spring Boot Example");
}
}

Answer from the comment:
It is necessary to install the gradle plugin and import the gradle project afterwards. (Don't forget to click the 'Build Model' button)
