and this is my build.config file:

grails.servlet.version = "2.5" // Change depending on target container compliance (2.5 or 3.0)
grails.project.class.dir = "target/classes"
grails.project.test.class.dir = "target/test-classes"
grails.project.test.reports.dir = "target/test-reports"
grails.project.target.level = 1.6
grails.project.source.level = 1.6
//grails.project.war.file = "target/${appName}-${appVersion}.war"

grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
    // inherit Grails' default dependencies
    inherits("global") {
        // specify dependency exclusions here; for example, uncomment this to disable ehcache:
        // excludes 'ehcache'
    }
    log "warn" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
    checksums true // Whether to verify checksums on resolve

    repositories {
        inherits true // Whether to inherit repository definitions from plugins

        grailsPlugins()
        grailsHome()
        grailsCentral()

        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()

        // uncomment these (or add new ones) to enable remote dependency resolution from public Maven repositories
        //mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"

        //mavenRepo "http://download.java.net/maven/2/"
        //mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
    }
    dependencies {
        // specify dependencies here under either 'build', 'compile', 'runtime', 'test' or 'provided' scopes eg.

        // runtime 'mysql:mysql-connector-java:5.1.20'
        compile 'org.eclipse.jgit:org.eclipse.jgit:2.0.0.201206130900-r'
        compile 'SC-Connector:SC-Connector:1.0'
        compile 'AccountConnector:AccountConnector:1.0'


        // runtime
        runtime 'org.springframework.ws:spring-xml:2.0.4.RELEASE'

        runtime 'com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-impl:2.1.12'
        runtime 'javax.xml.bind:jaxb-api:2.1'
        runtime 'com.google.guava:guava:13.0.1'
        runtime 'xmlpull:xmlpull:1.1.3.1'

    }

    plugins {
        runtime ":hibernate:$grailsVersion"
        runtime ":jquery:1.7.2"
        runtime ":resources:1.1.6"

        build ":tomcat:$grailsVersion"

        runtime ":database-migration:1.1"

        compile ':cache:1.0.0'
    }
}

I think the classes are on my class path so I don't think it is a class path problem. Do anybody have any idea how to solve it?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Is com.lp.labs.scconnector.GitConnector in a jar file in the lib directory? If so, run grails compile --refresh-dependencies to get Grails to add it to the classpath
