My controller can't seem to find the HATEOAS methods like linkTo
. Am I missing something?

Looks like your POM is missing the spring-hateoas
dependency.
So first add this to pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.hateoas</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-hateoas</artifactId>
<version>0.15.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>
Then you can add this static import and your code should compile:
import static org.springframework.hateoas.mvc.ControllerLinkBuilder.*
