Grails 2.3.7 error when creating a new project

Question

I just a fresh install: I downloaded and installed JDK and GGTS. I then created a new Grails 2.3.7 project and I get the error message below. Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

Command terminated with an exception: java.lang.Exception (see details for partial output) Command: GrailsCommand(P/MangaReader> compile --non-interactive --refresh-dependencies) ---- System.out ---- Loading Grails 2.3.7 . |Environment set to development .......... |Compiling 79 source files .Error | Compilation error: startup failed: C:\Users\\Documents\workspace-ggts-3.5.0.RELEASE\MangaReader\target\work\plugins\database-migration-1.3.8\grails-app\controllers\grails\plugin\databasemigration\DbdocController.groovy: -1: Repetitive method name/signature for method 'java.lang.Object withFormat(groovy.lang.Closure)' in class 'grails.plugin.databasemigration.DbdocController'. @ line -1, column -1.

Answer 1

I found this thread: Does Grails 2.3.x Support JDK 8

I backed my JDK from version 8 to version 7 (1.7.0_45). That fixed the issue.

Basically grails 2.3.7 (and below) does not support JDK 8 yet.
