Failing to build spring-boot

Building of Spring boot fails due to messages:

Our CI builds (which run those tasks) are all green at the moment, so I suspect the problem is specific to your environment or to changes that you have made. Can you please share some more details about your environment and any changes that you have made to the code prior to running the build?

If I may add something: Could you check your line endings, @Avatair?

@wilkinsona I downloaded the code and started the build immediately using 'gradlew build' without any changes to the code. JDK 1.8.0_231 is used and the path and java home environment variables are set to it. Also I use Windows 10 with latest updates.

@dreis2211 Line endings are simple LF characters.

Thanks for the additional information. We have a Windows CI job that is green so I still believe that the problem is specific to your environment.

How did you download the code? Did you perform a git clone, or download and unpack a source zip from GitHub? I would recommend the former. You may also need to configure Git to handle line ending correctly. Our Windows CI is configured to use autocrlf.

If you did use git to clone the source, it would also be useful to know what git status shows.
