Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin

A snippet of my build.gradle looks like this:

plugins {
	id 'java'
	id 'org.springframework.boot' version '3.5.0'
	id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.1.7'
}

java {
	toolchain {
		languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
	}
}
...

While using VS Code, for reason unknown to me, the PROBLEMS tab shows the below:

The supplied phased action failed with an exception.
A problem occurred configuring root project 'springboot-challenge'.
Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration 'classpath'.
Could not resolve org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:3.5.0.

Dependency requires at least JVM runtime version 17. This build uses a Java 11 JVM.

There was no issue running ./gradlew build from the Terminal.

The JVM version used is correct:

$ java --version

openjdk 17.0.15 2025-04-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.15+6-Ubuntu-0ubuntu124.04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.15+6-Ubuntu-0ubuntu124.04, mixed mode, sharing)

Eventually, I’ve used the steps below to make the problem go away.

1. Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Look for java.import.gradle.java.home
3. Click on Java: Import Java Project Into Workspace
