Gradle on the Spring MVC tutorial

I had downloaded the source code from the Spring site - http://spring.io/guides/gs/serving-web-content/

I get the following exception when I run the build. Did I miss any configuration…

D:\SpringMVC\SpringMVCWeb>gradlew build Error: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

What exactly did you do? Cd into the ‘complete’ subdirectory and run ‘gradlew build’? That works fine for me.

I don’t have a complete folder. I am able to run gradle but gradlew doesn’t work for me and throws the exception that I had posted earlier.

I have also attached an image of my project structure.
