I used spring-tool-suite-3.9.1.RELEASE-e4.7.1a-win32-x86_64, why can't I create a project directly in File->New->Spring Starter Project

I got the screenshot below.

It may be late, but others might find it useful. I faced the same issue when I was trying to create a project in eclipse using Spring Starter Project.

What I did was change the Service Url from http://start.spring.io/ to https://start.spring.io/. I just changed the http to https and it worked. I don't know if it is a security related error or what, but I was able to create a project.
