Error: "Using insecure protocols with repositories" (Android Studio 2021.3.1. P2)

[WaldoPepper]

Hi,

I cloned the master branch and when trying to build in Android Studio (2021.3.1. P2), I get:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'RosAndroid'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Using insecure protocols with repositories, without explicit opt-in, is unsupported. Switch Maven repository 'maven(http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release)' to redirect to a secure protocol (like HTTPS) or allow insecure protocols. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.0.2/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.UrlArtifactRepository.html#org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.UrlArtifactRepository:allowInsecureProtocol for more details. 

Seems that this is caused by the call to https://github.com/rosjava/rosjava_bootstrap/raw/kinetic/buildscript.gradle in
build.gradle:

 maven {
            url "http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/release"
        }
        maven {
            url "http://repository.springsource.com/maven/bundles/external"

Does not sound like a big issue, but I would like to resolve without breaking things, so any help is appreciated

Found out that, if I do not update the Gradle Plugin...

...I can run the app.

Will close this ;-)
