See the following configuration:

apply plugin: 'java' 
apply plugin: 'eclipse' 
apply plugin: 'org.springframework.boot' 
apply plugin: 'io.spring.dependency-management' 
 
group = 'com.dineshonjava' 
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT' 
sourceCompatibility = 1.8 
 
repositories { 
   mavenCentral() 
   maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/snapshot" } 
   maven { url "https://repo.spring.io/milestone" } 
} 
 
 
ext { 
   springCloudVersion = 'Finchley.M7' 
} 
 
dependencies { 
   compile('org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server') 
   testCompile('org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test') 
} 
 
dependencyManagement { 
   imports { 
         mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:${springCloudVersion}" 
   } 
} 

As you can see, with the pom.xml Maven configuration file and the build.gradle Gradle configuration file, you have added the Starter with the org.springframework.cloud group and spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server artifact ID. This starter provides the auto-configuration about Netflix's Eureka server to a service registry.

But, by default, the Eureka server doesn't enable. So you have to enable the Eureka server by using the @EnableEurekaServer annotation in a main Spring Boot application class that is also annotated with the @SpringBootApplication annotation.
