To get started with Maven with a BOM (dependency management only):

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-dependencies</artifactId>
            <version>Hoxton.SR8</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-config</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId>
    </dependency>
    ...
</dependencies>

buildscript {
  dependencies {
    classpath "io.spring.gradle:dependency-management-plugin:1.0.10.RELEASE"
  }
}

apply plugin: "io.spring.dependency-management"

dependencyManagement {
  imports {
    mavenBom 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Hoxton.SR8'
  }
}

dependencies {
  compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-config'
  compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client'
