[FIXED] Trouble Creating REST project using start.spring.io

Issue

Having trouble getting with start.spring.io generated project to work in Eclipse. I'm so used to right-clicking on the pom.xml file and seeing 'update maven', but I don't see that.

The imports for the spring framework are all red. See the attached screen shots, please.

Do I need to move to a later version of eclipse? I do have the STS platform installed but I do not want an embedded tomcat, I'd like to release my war to another running instance of tomcat elsewhere.

Using start.spring.io I selected Spring Web as a dependency.

Specs:

Version: Photon Release (4.8.0)
Build id: 20180619-1200
Java : 1.8

Solution

upgrading helped a lot. I can get "something" running now.
