I get this error when trying to open a new libGDX project in netbeans. Would like some help please? Everything is up-to-date.

The exception suggests that your project has a buildscript dependency on the Android dependency com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1, but has not configured Google’s repository. This dependency is not present in Maven Central, JCenter, etc. This should be an issue even without NetBeans.

What would you suggest i do to solve this while opening libGDX projects in beans?

I’ve got it working with Android Studio, my choice of IDE would be NetBeans though. So I am guessing it has something to do with the SDK? I also have libGDX projects working in netbeans without using the Android imagration. I would like to use it, I can’t figure out the error.

We’re about two layers of abstraction below what you’re dealing with here. You’re looking for help on a project that was generated by another project that makes use of Gradle. The lowest level problem in the error posted was that there’s a dependency declared on com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1 that doesn’t exist in any of the repositories defined. If you (or the project) asks Gradle to download something from a location it doesn’t exist, that’s not really even a Gradle problem.

You haven’t provided much context to suggest how you got to the current state. If I go generate a project with libGDX, I get the following:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'de.richsource.gradle.plugins:gwt-gradle-plugin:0.6'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
        classpath 'com.mobidevelop.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:2.3.3'
    }
}

This has an earlier version of com.android.tools.build:gradle and an earlier version of Gradle, which seems to work fine. However, your project seems to be using com.android.tools.build:gradle 3.0.1 instead of 2.2.0, and Gradle 4.1, but I can’t tell if you’re intentionally trying to upgrade to these newer versions.

If you wanted 3.0.1 (or any version 3.0+), you’d normally just add the google() repository along with mavenCentral(), jcenter(), etc., because that’s where that dependency actually exists now. If you just make that change, I think you’d have a different problem because it doesn’t seem like what libGDX is providing is compatible with some of the changes in these versions. Not knowing what you or the libGDX project is intending, it’s hard to say what you should be doing at the Gradle level.
