org.springframework.cloud cannot be resolved when import EnableDiscoveryClient for registering service with Eureka - spring-boot

Question

In my spring-boot project, I try to register my project as eureka discovery client. This is my simple code:
package com.my.simpleService;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
// Compiler error: org.springframework.cloud cannot be resolved
import org.springframework.cloud.client.discovery.EnableDiscoveryClient;
#EnableDiscoveryClient
#SpringBootApplication
public class MyServiceApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(MyServiceApplication.class, args);
}
}
I get compiler error: import org.springframework.cloud cannot be resolved.
Following is my gradle.build file:
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.3'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management'
group = 'com.my.simpleService'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
sourceCompatibility = '11'
configurations {
compileOnly {
extendsFrom annotationProcessor
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven { url 'https://repo.spring.io/milestone' }
}
ext {
set('springCloudVersion', '2020.0.0')
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
implementation group: 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client:3.0.3'
compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
dependencyManagement {
imports {
mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}"
}
}
test {
useJUnitPlatform()
}
Why I get that compiler error? What am I missing?

You need to add the spring-cloud-commons, e.g. update your dependencies to the following:
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web'
implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-commons'
implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client'
compileOnly 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
annotationProcessor 'org.projectlombok:lombok'
testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test'
}
