Grails: unable to resolve dependencies

Question

I'm having trouble to find out why grails cannot resolve some dependencies. This is the error message I get when trying to compile/clean/run-app:

        | Error Failed to resolve dependencies (Set log level to 'warn' in BuildConfig.groovy for more information):

        - org.springframework.security:org.springframework.security.web:3.0.4.RELEASE
        - org.springframework.security:org.springframework.security.core:3.0.4.RELEASE

This is what I included in my Buildconfig.groovy:

        grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
    // inherit Grails' default dependencies
    inherits("global") {
        // uncomment to disable ehcache
        // excludes 'ehcache'
    }
    log "warn" // log level of Ivy resolver, either 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug' or 'verbose'
    repositories {
        grailsRepo "http://grails.org/plugins"
        grailsPlugins()
        grailsHome()
        grailsCentral()

        mavenRepo "http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org"
        mavenRepo "http://repository.codehaus.org"
        mavenRepo "http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/"
}
    }
    plugins {
        compile ":tomcat:2.1.3"
        compile ":spring-security-core:1.2.7.3"

I guess the spring "security-core depends" on "org.springframework.security.web 3.0.4.RELEASE" and "org.springframework.security.core 3.0.4.RELEASE". Do I have to add another plugin or dependecy?

Answer 1

Try adding mavenCentral() to your list of repositories.

Answer 2

Turned out I had an old version of a project that my project depended on...
