project was build with gradle, instruction to build is using maven, which doesn't work

[jli226688]

After "curl https://start.spring.io/starter.tgz -d dependencies=webflux,actuator | tar -xzvf -"

The project only has gradle build settings. No maven at all. So the build image command
"$ ./mvnw spring-boot:build-image -Dspring-boot.build-image.imageName=spring-k8s/gs-spring-boot-k8s"
would not work.

Hi @jli226688. You're correct that the link provided in the curl example provides only a Gradle project and not maven. The default build system on start.spring.io was switched to Gradle recently.
We should make sure that the link here generates a maven project, as the rest of the learning content and code is a maven project.

Adding -d type=maven-project to the URL generates a Maven project. That would make the whole url:

curl https://start.spring.io/starter.tgz -d dependencies=webflux,actuator -d type=maven-project | tar -xzvf -

I'll mark this as a good issue for a first time contribution and a PR. Thanks for finding it.
