Timeout when importing a grails project

I am trying to import a Grails project into STS. I'm running STS 3.6.1. I've also got the Groovy plugin installed, running compiler 1.8.6. Finally, I have Grails 2.1.4.

When I try to import a Grails project though (which is a Subversion repository), it is painfully slow, before it finally gives up:

The command 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\javaw.exe (4 Sep 2014 12:10:28)' was terminated because it didn't produce new output for some time.

See details for the output produced so far.

If you think the command simply needed more time, you can increase the time limit in the Grails preferences page.

See menu Windows >> Preferences >> Grails >> Launch Command: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_45\bin\javaw.exe (4 Sep 2014 12:10:28) ---- System.out ---- | Loading Grails 2.1.4 | Configuring classpath | Downloading: C:\Users\607534885\Software\grails-2.1.4\plugins\database-migration-1.3.2.pom | Downloading: C:\Users\607534885\Software\grails-2.1.4\lib\org.liquibase\liquibase-core\ivy-2.0.5.xml | Downloading: C:\Users\607534885\Software\grails-2.1.4\plugins\jquery-1.8.3.pom ---- System.err ----

Why is Grails proving to be so slow? Or is this an issue with something else?

does it gives other errors in several attemts with the downloading of the files? can't you run it once on command line to load all the deps first? - cfrick
checkout the project using some external tool, like tortoise-svn, and then import it into GGTS - injecteer
@injecteer. That's what I'm doing. It's checked out using Tortoise, then imported into STS (not using GGTS at recommendation of dev team) - Andrew Martin
@cfrick: Do you mean import project in Eclipse, then run it on cmd line? Why would that produce a different result? - Andrew Martin
no, i suspect, that downloading all the dependencies takes its time and eclipse just kills the process in the middle of it. if you would just do a grails package in your project root and let it setup itself without disturbance i would assume, that eclipse will load it. - cfrick

Figured it out. Rather pointless question in the end. We have an aggressive firewall in work and I simply needed to use a wifi connection instead as importing the project for the first time required third party software to be installed. Simples in the end.
