C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>spring run app.groovy

I’m trying to change the local-developer-group url in settings.xml my Maven installation to http://repo.spring.io/snapshot/ Because the error report clearly states that the required artifact cannot be found, I still get the same error. Spring-boot-cli doesn’t seem to be using my maven installation setup. But I can’t think of another place where I can specify this url.
