I am surprised you did not mention Spring Initializr. Right now, it is probably one of the most popular tools out there.

Please sir tell me how to solve this problem (Gradle sync failed: Could not resolve all files for configuration CappandroidApis: // Failed to transfom android jar to match attributes artifactType=android mockatie-jar.. Onaments )

[TheSquigy]

the info I was looking for was in here, but this video was more than 50% bloat by run time. That made it very hard to concentrate.
