Error received when installing Grails birt-report plugin

Question

Hi all, I want to use BIRT Report on Grails, but when I install the birt-report plugin, it is not complete and returns an error. Can you help me with BIRT Reports and showing the BIRT Report Viewer on a GSP Page?

This error :

Looks like this is a bug with the plugin and how it instructs Grails to get the appropriate package. I tried installing it as well and received the same error:

> grails install-plugin birt-report

It appears that the package it's trying to access (R-R1-2_5_0-200906180630) isn't available here.

You can report a bug with the plugin here.

Edit:

Looks like you (or somebody) did report a bug, and it apparently has been fixed.
