Grails: not finding plugin classes

Question

Hi

I use STS for Grails development. When I install a plugin the IDE does not find some core classes of the plugin.

Example:

import grails.plugins.nimble.core.AdminsService

gives "Unable to resolve class import grails.plugins.nimble.core.AdminsService" .

The project runs OK.

Also, I can't find that classes myself in the project dir nor in Grails SDK dir. Where are they?

Grails uses the ivy dependency manager. You'll find the plugin classes under .ivy2/cache/org.grails.plugins/ in your home directory.
