kotlin spring boot 3 - cannot resolve spring-boot-gradle-plugin:3.0.0

Question

I'm getting a weird resolution error when trying to upgrade to spring boot 3. I have a kotlin/spring project. The only thing sort of related is this, but it's not the same dependency.

Here's the error: Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:3.0.0.

Here's my dependency declaration:

plugins {
        id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.1.0' // latest at this time
        id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.0.0'
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.jpa' version '1.7.10'
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.spring' version '1.7.10'
}

Here's my full output:

What I've tried:

• Switching to Java 17
• Searching online for the same exact error - no luck so far. (11-29-2022 10AM ET)
