Can't get Grails 1.1 to work with Maven 2.1

Question

When I try to build a Grails 1.1 project with Maven 2.0.9 or 2.1, I get this error:

[INFO] [grails:maven-compile {execution: default}]
Running pre-compiled script

My guess is that there is a problem with the XML parser because the plugin list file is not corrupt; Grails just can't read it and the developers swallowed the exception :(

Did anyone have the same problem? What's the solution?

Answer 1

Have you tried it again? I think the plugin repositories were not working a few days ago.
