Spring Tool Suite create new spring starter project error

Issue

I am using spring tool suite version 3.8.3. While trying to create a new spring starter project, I am getting an error.. UnknownHostException : start.spring.io. But I can create maven project and adding spring boot is working. Can any one help to get a solution. start.spring.io is reachable from my browser.

Solution

Are you using a proxy? So you have to configure that in your STS settings: Open the menu windows/prefrences and enter proxy and check your settings. If it works in your browser, try the native settings. (The proxy for maven is defined in the settings.xml, that's why this may work anyway)
